George Will [rightwing commentator guru].. predicting that Romney would unseat Obama with a 321-217 Electoral College vote. “I’m projecting Minnesota to go for Romney,” Will said .. “It’s the only state that’s voted Democratic in nine consecutive elections, but this year, there’s the marriage amendment on the ballot that will bring out the evangelicals, and I think it could make the difference.” On Election Night, Obama won Minnesota.

Note: .. George Will was commentator election night yet I didn't hear anyone, being polite, ask him about his prediction, as he quick talked about other issues - but I could clearly see the egg on his face!

Like Will, earlier this month Michael Barone predicted a similar 315-223 vote count, swaying Romney's way. Karl Rove [Repub bigshot strategist] also predicted that Romney would take at least 279 electoral votes; on Election Night, he said on Fox News Channel that Obama's winning declaration was "premature." They weren't the only ones strongly predicting a Romney presidential victory; Dick Morris wrote: "The trend line is distinctly pro-Romney.

Hey Rove, if you do go 'back to ohio', take limbaugh with you & sing duet!
