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...”
Tokyo Rove needs to explain his part in the debacles of 2006 and 2008 before he gets to continue as an “expert”.
It would be impossible for him to be any dumber than I think he is, so it’s possible I guess.
No, Rove is a scared idiot.
No, he’s trying to bash Palin by proxy and outcome. Will he emerge as part of Mitt’s team for ‘12?
Rove has NO idea how much damage he has done to his value and future.
It’s not unlike the Clinton’s did to minimize bad news and it’s a great strategy, assuming that is the strategy.
Bottom line is this...if the Republicans take over the House, they will have to live up to the hype and take control of the spending and stop the lunacy. Problem is, DC works in corrupt ways and tends to corrupt those who come in claiming change. We shall have to wait and see.
No, he’s stupid. The democrats are already using the same attacks.
Smart would be exposing Coons for the Marxist America hating scumbag he is.
If true he would not be making his half-hearted backpedal right now.
that may be true
But I can’t help thinking that all this free poublicity can only be helping her
Her opponent (who?) is not anywhere on the news
And she is gettin huge sympathetic support from us and (and donations)
Im think her standing has IMPROVED from all this brouhaha (brouhaha?) in the last couple of days
You must admit this was extremely odd behavior from Rove
Got tinfoil? You need to wrap yourself in it to even begin to believe this....
Tokyo Rove is an ESTABLISHMENT/RULING REPUBLICAN.
In a word, “No”
You must be one of those that still believes the GOP is in there fighting for your interests?
I hope so. I love Karl Rove and hope he comes back to his right mind.
Nope, he was just giving his base, emotional reaction to O’Donnell, he’s not that brilliant.
If he was that brilliant, then Bush would have won the WMD argument about Iraq.
Ridiculous. Rove’s attacks will only give legitimacy to RAT attacks. RATS will say “See, even Repub extremist Rove thinks she is a bad choice.”
What makes everyone think he is brilliant? He helped Bush get elected twice but then threw the party under the bus for the war and excessive spending. Remember Rove prognostication that the GOP would be in power for a generation? Remember his insistence that the ‘06 race was in the bag? He damn near ended up in jail because they could not get ahead of the Plame story and get the truth out. Rove also admits that he let Bush down by not defending the outrageous attacks from the left even though we all sat there wondering where are the defenders. Rove is an angry little snot who finds himself increasingly irrelevant.
