Rove’s latest controversy comes after his much publicized meltdown on election night over the vote in Ohio.

Rove claimed the state was far too early to give to the Democrats since around 20% of the votes in the Buckeye state had yet to be called — a difference of 991 votes. This, as CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC and even Fox had made the call.
