Karl Rove Says Cain’s Finished, Zogby ‘Says He Trounces’ Romney Head-to-Head
Big Government ^ | 10/31/11 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 10/31/2011 4:15:18 PM PDT by Evil Slayer

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 .

Months ago? How about the 2000 election? Compassionate conservatism, the gift the keeps on giving.

And that would be the same Karl Rove who managed to turn two walk off wins into an extra inning affair and a late game come back? And cost us both Houses of Congress for good measure???

WTH anyone listens to this cretin is beyond me.

I sure won’t argue with you, even Rush acknowledges that GW wasn’t a Conservative.

Fox News/Murdoch is looking foolish by giving Rove so much face time to keep beating the DC establishment’s drum. It’s time to find another teat to nurse from Karl.

...well, ya know the old saying...money talks BS walks

So what is the success rate of Intrade this far out? What are the chances that a desperate RINO with very deep pockets isn't flooding bets on himself in order to give Mittbots a talking point when all other indicators show the candidate a loser?

Karl Rove is the architect of failure.

To be honest, I thought Cain’s gaffs were going to do him in too, but they didn’t. Fact is, he just keeps on climbing and smiling.

I think if he makes it through this last hit job by Homo-Rag-Politico, he may actually become bulletproof.

Yeah, and Rove was the point man on Bush’s illegal alien amnesty plan. I wish he would learn how to pronounce Washington instead of Warshington. He should shut up, get his face lipo-suctioned, and get his rotten teeth pulled out. That guy is a mess. I don’t know which Fox pundit is worse, Alan Colmes or Rove.

And my point also could be that Intrade people are not “in touch” with the general population. Disclosure: I do have an Intrade account.

Did you watch the news tonight? Cain made it worse today by changing his story from what he said less than two hours earlier. Both times on tape, in full context, a 180 degree flip.

I fear Rove may be right this time.

Does anyone know who these women are? Do they have names?
My guess us they are white liberal femi-nazi’s but it’s just a guess.
