When Gov. Sarah Palin was deciding whether or not to get into the presidential race, Karl Rove was popping up on Fox News to talk about why her skin was too thin for the job. And when Gov. Rick Perry was thinking about his entrance into the race, Rove was Johnny-on-the-spot with reasons why a Perry candidacy would not be viable either.
Now Rove’s moved on to Herman Cain, whose candidacy he’s doing all he can to sink, sidetrack, or
On Fox News this past Monday, Rove did his best Mr. Rogers imitation by holding up a small dry-erase board with words (and phrases) for the day like “abortion, neoconservative, Afghan policy,” etc. According to Rove, Cain’s “gaffes” in these areas have rendered him unelectable.
How so? Well, according to Rove: “I think it has created an image of him as not being up to this task. [And] that’s really deadly.”
Of course, it’s important to keep in mind the fact that Rove is an establishment Republican who supports McRomney And if someone really wants to focus on gaffes, they should focus on McRomney’s deception on hiring illegal lawn care workers, his full-blown support of Roe v. Wade not so long ago, his support of the assault weapons ban, his support of the Brady Bill, and his ongoing belief in manmade global warming, among other things.
But I guess all that wouldn’t fit on Rove’s little board.
Anyway, while on Fox News Monday Rove talked about how there was “a hint” that Cain’s numbers had peaked sometime between October 6th and October 10th, and they “had begun to slide slightly since then.” In other words, “Move on, people; there’s nothing to see here.”
However, the latest Zogby poll, taken October 18-21, well after Cain’s supposed “slide” had begun, shows .

Rove and Romney threw the last two elections for the DNC.
They intend to do the same now.
Get lost, Karl.
Shut up Karl.
Rove = Romney’s pimp.
Some of us said, many months ago, that Rove’s pet, Geo. W. Bush, was not a conservative. That earned us savage bashing. Now that almost everyone realizes that W. Bush was a disaster to the conservative cause, why the bleep should anyone listen to Karl Rove?
All Karl Rove and the rest of those elitist pricks want to do is ensure Obama gets a 2nd term. I wouldnt be surprised if they all voted for Obama in 2008 and I wouldnt be shocked at all if these scumbags are the ones that leaked this crap to Politico to screw Cain over..they want Romney to get the nomination and will do whatever it takes to ensure that happens. Cain will get through all of this nonsense which is exactly what it is, total NONSENSE

If Cain survives this, then he’s the nominee apparent.
Zogby is right, of course.
If it’s just Cain versus Romney, then Romney tops out at 35% of the vote (at best), and loses. But with spoilers still in the race (mainly Perry, but Newt to some extent), it stays close.
If I were Romney, I’d be encouraging Perry to fight the big fight every day...and no doubt his bunch is doing just that.
well, ya know the old saying...money talks BS walks
lets just see what intrade says.
romney 69%
perry 11%
cain 6.5%
we are a long ways out from the election still, so we can’t put too much faith in predictions intrade or otherwise, but seems to me a 6.5% chance of winning nomination aint real good. Maybe Rove isn’t so far off.
Romneycare’s 35% top out was months ago.
The only way he can get close to that again is if Perry drops out.
Perry’s less than 10% remaining are the open borders crowd and they will probably all go Romney.
Karl has jumped the shark
Intrade sophisticates the general population is not...
First of all, his candidate in 2000 seemed a little light in the “readiness” department. And we KNOW obama wasn’t ready.
I despise the republican elite as much as I despise the democrats. Man, we need a second party.
Karl Rove - Establishment Hit Man
Rove said Cain was finished a week ago, before the news about Cain broke.
Now how would Rove know Cain was finished unless Rove was the one trying to finish him for Romulus.
You’re point is...?
Karl, your 15 minutes are over. Please go away now.
