Remember when Rove went nuts in 2012? (Video)

[Third Doctor]

It reminds me of a scene in the old Trading Places movie. "Turn the Machines Back on!"

1. I've always thought that

They decided they couldn't get away with rigging that last state, and didn't tell Karl.

4. I had heard something along the lines of that they did

have some type of plot to steal Ohio, Anonymous picked on it and somehow Anonymous blocked their plan which allowed Ohio to hall how Ohio was going to fall (ultimately for Obama). I found that story reasonable because I think that they stole Ohio in the second Bush Jr election. I don't know if you ever watched the documentary on the electronic voting machines which showed how easy it was to rig the elctronic voting machines.

5. That wouldn't surprise me either.

At risk of sounding like Trump, I'm convinced paperless electronic machines have in fact been rigged.

9. Yes, that was my impression, too.

Karl thought they had Ohio stolen, but Anonymous had prevented them from stealing it.

3. No rigging. Karl was just in denial. nt

[Coyotl]

12. CT folks really came out of the woodwork, wanting to believe Karl was in control of something,

what with him having a laptop and internet connection

[lillypaddle]

14. They just couldn't believe

a BLACK man won the presidency! Now they are going to have to accept a woman. Next? A BLACK WOMAN. Michelle?

Wouldn't that be wonderful - and a kick in the ass to those assholes. That kind of schadenfreude might just kill me.

6. The GOP still thinks the burbs are safe for them, Roves logic is good relative to 2004 but ...

... burbs in those states, including TX, are no longer 85% white.

Hanks was right on SNL, "... America, you see your complexion changing... getting a little darker"

7. Obama won 332 electoral votes to 206.

[lovemydog]

16. Thanks.

Interesting. Even if they had stolen Ohio they still would have lost by 90 electoral votes. Presuming all the other States were tabulating fairly.

8. Karl had spent a lot of other people's money trying to beat Obama. A small fortune.

[PCIntern]

10. I turned to Fox once I knew we had it

In the bag just to watch them suffer and wail.

[Wounded Bear]

11. Funniest part was that in the end, Ohio didn't really matter...

Obama would have won without Ohio, assuming all the other states fell the same way.

We've gone beyond the closeness that allowed the thefts of '00 and '04. The blue wall has Dems in the 240 range before the first vote is cast, at least in the Presidential. You can't bit slice and split demographics enough to make it so close that one state will swing it away from the blue wall.

13. Rove was the Japanese soldier in the cave refusing to admit defeat

Fox had to send Michael Barone down to talk poor Rove into putting his rifle down and coming out of the cave. I remember watching that on Fox. My wife and I were howling with laughter.

15. I will never forget Kkkarl Rove and Blackwell in 2004! Ever!

And electronic voting so easily hackable and with votes flipping right before my eyes and machines made by Diebold that also make ATM machines where I can get a paper receipt for my $ but not my vote. Every time I vote in any election all of these things are as fresh in my mind as yesterday.

17. I was just thinking about this the other day!

18. he said the same thing word for word in 2000

when Florida was called. I just saw on MSNBC on "In other News". The fix was in there just like Ohio 2004 and 2012
