States Rove will try & Steal Colorado, Ohio, Nevada & New Mexico

Rove left the Whitehouse in August 2007

He's been working on this for at least a year or longer.

They can't win on a level playing field and they know it

We need massive turn out for Obama to counter act this.

If not I can here the MSM now

they'll call it the " Palin effect "

Colorado
Elections chief Lowder resigns
Rocky Mountain News
The director of elections at the secretary of state's office resigned suddenly Thursday.

The departure of Holly Lowder, former Alamosa County clerk, comes two months before what is expected to be one of the biggest elections in recent Colorado history. Lowder's work centered on the implementation of the new statewide voter registration system, said Richard Coolidge, spokesman for the agency.

5. This may be why the door to door canvasing is concentrating on apartments
All the door to door work I have done so far has been these transient neighborhoods where many who have lost their house are moving.
We have been asking everyone we meet if they are registered to vote. Last week I had several in one neighborhood. I am going out again this week.

2. Obama Doesn't Sweat, he should.


In swing-state Colorado, the Republican Secretary of State conducted the biggest purge of voters in history, dumping a fifth of all registrations. Guess their color.

In swing-state Florida, the state is refusing to accept about 85,000 new registrations from voter drives – overwhelming Black voters.

In swing state New Mexico, HALF of the Democrats of Mora, a dirt poor and overwhelmingly Hispanic county, found their registrations disappeared this year, courtesy of a Republican voting contractor.

In swing states Ohio and Nevada, new federal law is knocking out tens of thousands of voters who lost their homes to foreclosure.

My investigations partner spoke directly to Barack Obama about it.

4. a touch paranoid?
Karl Rove isn't even working for mcbush's campaign. Obama will carry Colorado and New Mexico. Those, along with Iowa, are all he needs to win. I wouldn't be surprised if he carried Ohio and Nevada as well.

8. A touch misinformed

Politico | David Paul Kuhn | March 8, 2008
Several big-name Bushies are lining up to boost McCain.


John McCain is getting much more than President Bush's endorsement and fundraising help for his campaign. He’s getting Bush's staff.

It’s no secret that Steve Schmidt, Bush’s attack dog in the 2004 election, and Mark McKinnon, the president’s media strategist, are performing similar functions for McCain now.

But other big-name Bushies are lining up to boost McCain, too.

Ken Mehlman, who ran Bush’s 2004 campaign, is now serving as an unpaid, outside adviser to the Arizona Republican. Karl Rove, the president’s top political hand since his Texas days, recently gave money to McCain and soon after had a private conversation with the senator. A top McCain adviser said both Mehlman and Rove are now informally advising the campaign. Rove refused to detail his conversation with McCain.

10. Thought McKinnon wasn't particpating because of the negativity, and Obama being good for the country

13. Will have to confirm that

Despite denials by the McCain advisors, Time Magazine reports this week that Karl Rove is close, oh-so-close, to the McCain campaign:

A year after leaving the White House under the pall of an electoral setback and a congressional investigation, Karl Rove — hero of the right, scourge of the left — is back. With a twist.

In private, Rove speaks regularly with the McCain campaign, where his former protégé Steve Schmidt is now the manager. He’s also dialed in at the Republican National Committee, run by Mike Duncan, another former aide. And he still lunches two or three times a month with President Bush

7. Rove is a fired, washed-up has-been failure working at Faux to pay his lawyers
He was just an RNC operative to begin with.
Worry about the RNC and Bush's political henchmen.

12. You wouldn't believe the 527 money being spent here in Colorado
especially against Mark Udall. Everything from union haters to the drill the west into a pincushion crowd. We're getting a lot of McCain's negative ads also. It sure makes me wish for Campaign Finance Reform.
