What would Karl Rove think?

An old friend from Stuarts Draft up in Augusta County weighs in these observations:
Man, you’re on top of those numbers. I notice both O and Mc’s margins have been growing through the night.
Here’s one you might want to tackle on the blog: I’ve heard Karl Rove making much of the fact that Obama has been winning in traditional Red states, while McCain has been winning traditional Blue states - and that that points to a weakness for both. (ie., Why let states that don’t usually support your party choose your nominee?) I don’t follow that at all. It’s not as if the Ds who voted for Hillary in California and NY and Mass. wouldn’t vote for Obama in November if he got the nomination. And as the Virginia results tonight show, and Missouri last week, Obama can get independent voters excited enough, possibly, to turn Red states Blue. So: Is Rove on crack?
Also: Why are late-deciding voters consistently breaking for Clinton?
So what do others think?

SherryObama carried Virginia with large black populations. VA has voted republican since 1964 without fail. I voted for Hillary today and she handily carried the area where I live Obama has never been exposed to the Rove machine. They would rip him to shreds. A small percentage of the population already believes Obama is a closet radical Muslim courtesy of Faux Noise. Imagine if he was the nominee. Fox will begin referring to him a B Hussein Obama.
