Castle was THE establishment candidate. The guy got over $1,000,000 from big business PAC’s and O’Donnell got $0. The reason, Castle knows how to play the game, he brings home the pork. Rove was heavily invested in Castle having traveled to DE to attempt to undercut TP support for Castle months ago. Didn’t work, Karl’s boy got smoked.
He is a wacky. His comments were very personal and ugly.
Fox would have fired him if these comments were made about Hillary or any female Dem but its open season on female conservatives.
Rove should disappear for a long time .
You know that old saying: It takes one, to know one!
LOL.
Pound sand dork. Go re-read the post, since it apparently really excited you.
Karl Rove likes right-wingers for cover.
But he wants RINOS to hold the balance of power.
It is a slow progressize agenda that doesn’t produce lurches back to the right.
The meat of the article:
“O’Donnell didn’t need an architect.
She just needed a little bit of attention from Sarah Palin
and grassroots Tea Partiers who donated money.
No grand visionary was needed.
This marks a major threat to Roveism...
non-establishment candidates winning without the help of old-boy architects.
That’s why Rove is peeing himself...”
“architected”???
One place to start is with Russ Murphy of the Delaware 9-12 Patriots organization.
He has stated that Karl Rove had a meeting with him and other TP type organizations a little while back in DE where Rove asked these groups to back Castle.
Russ politely told Rove nothing doing, and Rove replied that he was just there telling these folks how to work within the GOP organization and how it is really done.
Murphy again replied that we didn’t need him to tell them what to do or how to do anything.
So Tokyo Rove is not “just an analyst on FoxNews” as he claims. He has a documented connection to Castle.
So now the question is: what is that connection in light of his overreaction to solely the O’Donnell candidacy?
My theory is that he wants O’Donnell to crack like an egg, step aside, and then Castle be “drafted” to fill the slot before any deadline makes that impossible.
Again, what is the connection to the Castle campaign. There is something Tokyo Rove is not coming clean about.
That Tokyo Rove is silent about Murkowski’s shenanigans in AK is the dog that didn’t bark.
I suspect that it is personally worse for Karl Rove, not out of just pettiness on his part, but because O’Donnell ruined his *system*. And that cuts deep.
His own fault, really, because he made the mistake of emotionally investing in a “horse race”. He thought his system of prediction was so perfect that it was a *certainty* that O’Donnell would lose.
This is worse than him just taking a hit to his credibility. Some men become so invested in their “system”, that if it is broken, they even commit suicide. The trauma to them is that great.
And this isn’t just a loss. With her win, his system is shattered. Even if he is resilient enough to patch it back together and press on, he will never again have total confidence in it. If he isn’t resilient, personally, he might retire.
But he will never forgive her for doing this.
I found this article earlier today that shows how emotionally invested many in the party were with Castle running.

Rove and most RINO’s believe that the American public in general will never allow conservatives to lead this country again, and they advocate moderation in order to have their party in control. This is the thought process behind amnesty. If they are nice to the illegal immigrants and they are the ones who allow the illegal immigrants to stay, those same illegal immigrants along with moderates will vote Republican, regardless of the consequences from their much larger base.
Rove and his ilk are undeniably part of the problem, just as much as the marxists.
The 'old establishment' doesnt like losing at any cost and will never admit error on their part. Yes, they would rather go down in flames while their anger rages.
We have learned a number of things about Karl Rove.He is not to be taken out in presentable company.
He seems to be nothing more than just a political street thug.
OBTW Rove was the architect for Castle's campaign.
A fully discredited Obama RINO
Could the reason be because Rove is a progressive like Castle?..
Neither did Bush until Rove got involved.
The survival of western civilization is at stake. It may lose.
His philosophy is why CA never gets any money from the
‘establishment’ as run by Karl. Put your money where there is a chance to win. Because of O’Donnell’s shortcomings, Karl would and did back a candidate with a better chance of winning, i.e. Castle. He’s concerned with the R behind the name being in office, not the ‘what’s good for America’ question. We got Arlen back into the Senate because of Karl’s philosophy and the shortsightedness of it all became crystla clear when ARlen switched parties.
That he made it personal against O’Donnell is where the head scratching comes in. Maybe he was also chewing out the voters - who are in no mood to be put down.
You know, when you really think about it, he was
behaving in the same thin-skinned, petulant,
overreactive and overreaching, rageful and kill-
the-fly-with-the-cannon way as someWON else,
whose adolescent behavior we’ve come to know
so well.
Beg to differ on that point!
