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 .

Thanks, I’ve been around a long time and I also live in an area dominated by liberals. So I’m not delusional enough to believe Conservatives are in the majority. I wish Conservatives were in the majority but if anything the 2008 election ought to convince people that this is not the case. We must not nominate a candidate who loses the general. And we must not count out any of the candidates until we’ve had a good number of primary elections. I’m sick to death of these polls that seem to be changing from week to week. There are very good reasons to let this primary work itself out over 5-6 months more. And we should NEVER allow a candidate to win the primary with a plurality of votes. This will ensure us of a loss in the general.

Rove has managed to give birth to the Curse of Rove. He endorses... and the rest of us automatically vote for the other guy.

I’m thinking you’re right, Rove is the one behind this. I cannot stand to look at the man, he’s to blame for the disasterous GWB. My gosh the man is a plague on society, Herman should have run a better campaign in 2000 and then we wouldn’t have had to put up with Mr. foot in mouth.

“Cain will get through all of this nonsense which is exactly what it is, total NONSENSE”.

I’ve been having a growing, mystical feeling that Herman is destined by God to survive all the slings and arrows and win this thing. It certainly seemed that BHO was destined to win in ‘08, but if that involved God it was only to WAKE MILLIONS UP (which it did, thankfully). Otherwise, it was the Evil One who smoothed the way for him.

Hope this doesn’t sound nutty, but I believe in my heart that Herman is a Christian (unlike BHO) who loves this country (unlike BHO) and based his decision to run on God’s counsel; therefore, he may be destined to win this race and be the second chance so many of us have been praying to the Heavenly Father for every day, to once again bless America.

It won’t be easy, for unlike BHO, Herman has many powerful forces going after him - but the viewpoint above may be a renewed source of hope for us.

You’re going to have egg on your face again. Cain was on NPR earlier, saying that he’d learned of the settlement earlier to day after figuring out what had happened.

This isn’t a flip flop, nothing new, he didn’t know about it before today, and by the time he taped Greta, he’d learned of the circumstances. Rove has never been right about anything, certainly not about Bush, what a disaster.

Karl Rove is a Elitist RINO puke, IMO.

He went from one studio to the next with a different story.

Special report had it on at 6pm. I don’t know what he said to NPR, I didn’t see that.

rove presents himself on fox as a neutral commentator,

but he’s got ties to the rino candidates.

“This isn’t a flip flop, nothing new, he didn’t know about it before today, and by the time he taped Greta, he’d learned of the circumstances.”

That is kind of a stretch when Politico claims they contacted him 10 days ago asking for comments on the story.
