Spent the next step -- governor Mitt Romney's trip abroad.
Israel and and the record is meeting up with him in London and going to Israel with him but what about President Obama he -- not visited Israel since taking office.
Once again here's Karl Rove.
Doesn't make good difference that President Obama has not been to Israel in his first term in politically incident -- -- -- -- the the big picture but to the voters.
Yeah look into it and we always look at politics for the -- what I call the curly theory you know remember -- you know -- remember one thing.
It didn't know what it wouldn't accept that it is one of many things he's not visited Israel.
He's made unsupported statements about Israel he missed seeing any public EBE Blu-ray did.
Bibi Netanyahu in private and publicly Dan you know sort of a shared that with the media in order to further -- that.
The that the Israeli prime minister he has been.
-- there's -- deep concerns about where he is with regard to bar are staunch ally Israel.
And he said things like you know we need to -- returned -- 67 borders at the Israelis find and very -- problematic policy so if it was one thing it wouldn't be that much but this is.
You know one of many things that has caused a lot of a lot of Jewish Americans and a lot of Israelis to be concerned about how President Obama views -- relationship.
I go to Colorado dot com to look at the map and I'll continue do so between now and November where you lay out the states.
And which way they're leaning or who's -- which state locked up I'm curious though is that we talk about the Republicans and Democrats and independents is there -- to measure right now the undecided.
Well we do get the undecideds like today in the in the and -- -- the Gallup.
Daily tracking poll I think the undecideds are 9% and we're likely to see this 89101112.
Be the number of undecideds and and be there for a while.
Because look the independent voters a swing voters are gonna make up their minds late as you look at -- tossup states.
I -- -- be clear about something do not understand it and -- an email complaining that South Carolina is a toss -- state is not it is going to be a Romney state.
But the last poll that we haven't South Carolina State why it is December in which it was a toss -- state.
We're -- were -- need somebody in South Carolina reputable news organization or.
University to conduct a poll that will allow -- to move that out of the toss up category included firmly in the column of -- Mitt Romney which is where it is I suspect.
You say there eight to 9%.
Undecided -- Four years ago eight years ago twelve years ago is that about the number at this time is that an usually high lower what.
Well it's a little bit lower than what there is normally but but not a lot and remember it's not always the same 8% there -- some people who sort of temporarily make a decision -- -- one candidate and then fall back into the undecided category and you know is an interesting way to watch it though is by looking at the Electoral College map if people -- to get a map.
Free go to -- dot com sign up and I sent out a little weekly.
Mapping in the blast each each step we put it out we don't put it out -- -- until the convention.
Or at least by the come actual switch over to weekly but.
That's the current state of the map the reds did these these these red states are Romney the Obama.
Thank you guys this to say thank you -- to.
