Karl Rove on Hannity: Christine O’Donnell Interview “A Very Good Sign” For Campaign
Mediaite ^ | September 22, 2010 | Glenn Davis

Posted on 09/22/2010 7:51:42 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Karl Rove continued his media rounds tonight with a satellite appearance on Hannity, which he used to discuss Christine O’Donnell’s appearance last night on the same program. After his much-talked about criticism of O’Donnell in the past week, it’s safe to say after hearing her last night, Rove is coming around.

Rove tempered his own positive thoughts by noting how far behind she still is in the polls, but called her overall performance in last night’s interview “a very good sign” that she can get people to “pay attention to her.” Most notably, he said O’Donnell “handled the witchcraft issue great” – that “witchcraft issue,” of course, being a major point of contention of Rove’s.

In addition, he praised her for being “more forthcoming” about why she fell behind on her mortgage – O’Donnell told Hannity it was because she was doing pro bono PR work for a client, which left her unable to pay. He also liked that she’s bringing “seasoned operatives” aboard for her campaign.

Rove acknowledged there are still questions he has about O’Donnell – he’s still unsure what to make of her federal tax lien from the 2005 tax year, for example – but overall seemed duly impressed and said “she’s on the right course, which is to recognize you got a problem. You can’t solve a problem if you think, ‘Hey, everybody’s hunky-dory and I can just ignore these things.”

Maybe now that Rove appears to be getting on the O’Donnell bandwagon, his relationship with fellow conservative power players like Sarah Palin will be a bit more hunky-dory as well. Video of Hannity and Rove’s back-and-forth below.

“DeMint’s got a committee to get me off the block
‘Cause I say my smears loud and I say ‘em nonstop
Because being a RINO is what I’m all about
I shilled for Mike Castle and I got thrown out!”

“Go Mitt. Go Mitt. Go Mitt.”


“Rove is pushing Romney so aggressively some folks are beginning to wonder what's going on,” grumbled one veteran Republican strategist.”


“Rove has made no secret of his support for Romney as McCain’s VP. ”

I just want to see him banished from public view and taken off of the shows, he showed himself when he set out to gut O’Donnell once she had won the nomination. Once seen, his kind of ugliness and viciousness cannot be forgotten.

The woman is a joke who is destined for defeat and he was right to speak his mind. The well meaning people who voted for her will likely cost us a shot at the Senate.

That’s funny, I’m not sure about how to handle my 2005 tax lein either, turbo tax did it, or the Geithner option ?

Then maybe I just don’t relate to RINOs ? Maybe I relate to O’Donnell more ?

The vile trash called Karl Rove and Charles Krauthammer went after that Senate seat, your complaint against the republican voters of Delaware has no merit, it sounds like liberal, anti-GOP voter, bitter apples.

Support your GOP Senate candidate.

I’m glad. He’s going to be in the public eye for a while, better he’s helping us than hurting us.

In fairness, even before his most recent comments, Rove never indicated that he did not favor her election over Coons.

He showed his true colors already. And because he did, now we know what happened to the Bush Presidency. Karl is real good at fighting and disrespecting conservatives. Not so much the socialists in the GOP and DNC. He is trying to be a leader so he can stab conservatives in the back. His motto “how can I fool ‘em next.”
