Blame the victim, Darkwolf377?

Give it up. If she were any kind of candidate, she would have won.

This total fantasy that Rove's stupid outburst somehow MADE the democrats run against her is utterly absurd.

Somehow Sarah Palin has become a kingmaker while the entire establishment has treated her with disdain at best. But O'Donnell was this incredible awesome senator-in-waiting, but one comment destroyed her?

Ridiculous.

Every single week, Gov. Palin and C. ODonnell took on Obama and the corrupt DNC.

She took on nothing. She has accomplished nothing, has no credibility, can't even manage her own finances as a single woman. Stop linking her to Palin, a far more powerful force in this race than Rove, who couldn't help her. Palin is outstanding and accomplished, O'Donnell is a poor victim.

She would have been Senator TODAY (not January 2011) had not backstabber Rove attacked.

Yeah--she lost by double digits because she was an incredible, outstanding candidate--who's already lost TWICE BEFORE by double digits--because Karl Rove made a mean comment.

Your use of a superhero picture shows the problem with those who become cheerleaders for personalities instead of thoughtful conservatives who aren't fooled by TV images and celebrity foolishness.

She lost, again, and she will go away while the real, accomplished candidates who made it on their achievments will assume the offices they earned without whining.

Christine was not the best candidate, thats for sure, but Rove should have shut his mouth until after the election, period. His criticism would have come across as much more constructive. Now, the haters will reject what he says, as good as his advice might be. He should have been the bigger and smarter man.

DW the facts would seem to contradict your position. CoD did NOT get a large percentage of Rep votes. Mostly from mainstream Rovian types (if the exit polling is accurate). In any case Rove’s attacks were in bad form.

This total fantasy that Rove's stupid outburst somehow MADE the democrats run against her is utterly absurd.

In a winning organization, you praise publicly and reprimand privately.

Rove's ego as chooser of candidates outweighed his desire for a winning organization.

He trashed the candidate his parties constituents chose. If you can't see the problem with that behavior, you've got more issues than TV Guide.

By the way...Sarah Palin endorsed her. Why don't you criticize Sarah for linking O'Donnell to Palin?
