I've never really cared for Rover personally, and this is why I think his political acumen is highly over-rated. You're 100% correct. Rove, always despised by the left, has now painted himself as a target of the right as well. And the thing is, he might have been correct; O'Donnell may lose the general, but even if she does now, Rove and those of his ilk, rather than standing vindicated, will receive some of the blame for her loss.
