Karl Rove just might be too smart by half. If HE trashes O’Donnel (and makes her a sympathetic figure) then the Democraps can’t do it later (and you know they would be using ALL of Rove’s stuff... but it would be very different coming from them) It is like this- if your opponent knows you cheated on your wife and is prepared to floor you with it at a debate- you start your debate by saying “Yes, I cheated on my wife, but at least I am not as bad as my opponent who created the housing melt down...”

Neil Cavuto just teased: Is Christine O'Donnell the next Marco Rubio? Karl Rove will be here to analyze? FAIR & BALANCED.

Karl Rove says there are no hard feelings between him and radio host Rush Limbaugh over his own outspoken comments on Delaware’s Republican Senate candidate, Christine O’Donnell. “None at all,” Rove wrote in an e-mail to The Daily Caller, in response to a question about Limbaugh’s criticism of his remarks. “He is a very good friend for whom I have enormous respect and affection.” The former Bush aide, who recently served as a substitute host on Limbaugh’s show, riled up conservatives this week with open skepticism of O’Donnell. Rove expressed concerns about the “nutty things she has been saying,” as...

Election '10: An iconic pundit and strategist takes heat for his election night analysis of a Tea Party victory in Delaware. Can we now focus on those who are really leading America over the cliff? Karl Rove's political street cred is beyond dispute. He's the guru who, to the dismay of Democrats and liberals still clinging to their hanging chads, guided that cowboy from Texas, George W. Bush, to the White House — twice. When he speaks, people listen. On Fox News last Tuesday, Rove ran off a laundry list of everything that's wrong with Christine O'Donnell, the candidate backed...

Maybe he should have thought of that before his big rant against Christine O'Donnell on primary night. Here he is mending fences. It is true that he has raised a lot of money for Sharron Angle and some other Tea Party candidates with his American Crossroads group. Sometimes he helps and though he deserves no credit for it he unwittingly helped Christine O'Donnell by stirring up the grassroots who were angered by his anti-O'Donnell rant. The next morning Rush Limbaugh asked everyone to send Christine $1. By the morning of the second day she had collected well over $1 million....

Karl Rove -- When did FreeRepublic learn to hate you? Please explain why we hate Karl Rove.

If we attack President Obama for putting people who can’t pay their taxes into his Administration, how can we defend a Republican candidate who doesn’t pay some of her taxes, her college bills, or her mortgage; has had no visible means of support; and sued a reputable conservative organization claiming she was the victim of sex discrimination? She didn’t win the lawsuit: her employer said she was fired for trying to run her own pr consulting firm out of their offices while on their clock. We conservatives want conservative candidates, but we do our cause little good by nominating conservatives...

I'm proud to say I have NEVER been a fan of Karl Rove. I'm sure hes a nice guy, but I think that he thinks politics is all a game... That's why his ego was competing with his forehead when he trashed Christine O'Donnell for beating Mike Castle for the GOP's senate nomination in Delaware. If you like Rove go ahead and look up the man's life story. Unless I missed the part where he spent some time mowing lawns as a kid I'm pretty sure Barack Obama has more experience working in the private sector than Rove does.......

Christine O'Donnell's campaign went off the rails today when Bill Maher announced that he has previously-unseen clips of O'Donnell from the late 1990s when she appeared several times on his show. In one clip, she says that she once "dabbled into witchcraft." I dabbled into witchcraft -- I never joined a coven. But I did, I did. ... I dabbled into witchcraft. I hung around people who were doing these things. I'm not making this stuff up. I know what they told me they do. [...]One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar, and I...

The night Christine O'Donnell won the GOP nomination for Senate in Delaware, party stalwart Karl Rove flipped out, and warned that she was a liar, of ill-character, and generally not the kind of person that the party should get behind. It only took an instant for other party leaders like Rush Limbaugh and Michelle Malkin to flip out right back at him. But why did Rove take this tack? It's not because he's not into right-wingers

Following her tea party-fueled victory in Delaware’s GOP senate primary this past week, Christine O’Donnell has soared to national prominence faster than you can say “Sarah Palin.” In fact, many are likening O’Donnell to the mama grizzly herself. Let us count the ways: • A folksy style that laughs off her party’s hierarchy. (We’re talking about you, Karl Rove). • A working class background to be proud of. (She may not be able to gut a moose, but she probably changes the oil in her car.) • A certain kind of femininity attractive to both men and women. (In a...

Christine O’Donnell is in a fantasy world. Literally. The pretty Palin Mini-Me identifies with the women of Middle Earth, comparing herself to the female characters in the “Lord of the Rings” novels by J. R. R. Tolkien. “Look at the significance that he gives to Eowyn, the Lady of Rohan,” O’Donnell said on C-Span in 2003. “She was a warrior spirit and, to me, that’s who I love. I mean, I aspire to be soft and gentle like Arwen, but realistically, I’m a fighter, like Eowyn.” O’Donnell said she liked Tolkien’s outlook on gender: “On the one hand, there’s the...

US Senate Candidate Joe Miller (R-AK) joins "Fox News Sunday" to discuss Sen. Lisa Murkowski's recent decision to mount a write-in candidacy. Segment 1 Guest: Joe Miller, US Senate Candidate (R-AK) Plus, we’ll ask Karl Rove his thoughts on the O’Donnell victory, what it means for the Republican Party, and we’ll get his analysis on the 2010 Midterm Elections. Segment 2 Guest: Karl Rove, Former Senior Adviser to President George W. Bush

This is the video clip that is driving all the left-wing blogs to hysteria. I guess if O'Donnell wins the Senate seat against the radical socialist, Chris Coons, there will be two witches in Congress. Who can guess who the other one is? I think someone should point out to those blogs and to the media that O'Donnell, who made lots of mistakes earlier in life, aspired to be an actress at one time, and that Wikipedia has the following entry on her life:

Karl Rove, political mastermind for former President Bush, said Sunday that Christine O'Donnell, the Tea Party insurgent who won an upset victory in Delaware for the GOP Senate nomination, "can't simply ignore" the controversy stirred over the disclosure that she "dabbled in witchcraft" and has to find a way to "explain it and put it in its most sympathetic light and move on." "In southern Delaware, where there are a lot of church-going people, they're probably going to want to know what was that all about," Rove said on Fox News Sunday. "And again, she said it on television when...

Delaware Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell responded to old clips that surfaced over the weekend where she said she had once "dabbled in witchcraft," clarifying at a GOP picnic in Delaware Sunday, "I was in high school, how many of you didn't hang out with questionable folks in high school? But no, There's been no witchcraft since, if there was, Karl Rove would be a supporter." The jab at the former President George W. Bush senior adviser came after Rove had cast doubt on her ability to carry the state for the GOP and said there are too many questions...

Karl Rove – the top GOP strategist who declared last week that Christine O’Donnell’s surprise victory does “little good” for the party – is now calling on the surprise Senate nominee to explain her comments about witchcraft. "In southern Delaware where there are a lot of churchgoing people, they're going to want to know what that is all about,” the former aide to President George W. Bush told "Fox News Sunday." “My view is she can’t simply ignore it,” he said. “She’s got to deal with it and explain it and put it in its most sympathetic light and move...
