Rove: Obama "slight favorite" in 2012

Karl Rove on Sean Hannity's program last night.


"We've got to be careful about this. He is a slight favorite to win reelection today.

I'm optimistic we can beat him, but we will lose as conservatives if we think 'Oh, he's done and finished'.

He's got enormous power in that White House. He's starting to make some moves here. We'll see how they play out in the next couple of days.

But I think he's picked up a couple lessons from the election -- one of which is that this class warfare and anti-business rhetoric is a turnoff for a large number of Americans, and that Americans really are concerned about the spending, the deficit, and the debt, and he'd better try and do something about it."
