That's because the blogger apparently doesn't understand the meaning of the word "endorsement".
We regularly endorse candidates that we don't think are the best chance for winning, because we think it's more important to have a possible conservative win than a more likely moderate/liberal win.
Rove was absolutely correct that O'Donnell didn't give republicans as good a chance to win. As a contributer to Fox, it was his job to offer his assessment of the race, much as people here hated him for it. His assessment didn't help her, but he also clearly endorsed her.
As to Palin, I'm guessing Palin realised that appearing in Delaware would only hurt O'Donnell. However, I know that isn't a popular opinion here, where some people think Palin is universally popular.
Of course, if Palin was really preparing for a 2012 presidential run, the smart thing would be to distance herself from O'Donnell once it was clear how flawed her candidacy was, so as not to get tainted. But Palin doesn't strike me as a person who acts politically -- even though I know a lot of her supporters here claim that she DOES act out of political or other considerations rather than doing what is conservatively best.
This is simply NOT TRUE. I saw the show and he didn't just offer his opinion, he rapidly attacked her, then continued again the next day in his relentless attack.
He could have simply said that he thought it might help the democrats and let it lie. He did not stop and was turning red in his rage. The fact that he is still attacking her and making cracks about Palin further proves his "bad" intentions as a mouthpiece for establishment country club set Republicans.
I have never much cared for him and despised him since 2006 when I found out about his pushing of amnesty that cost us the house and Senate. Nothing magnificent about him to me. He is on my personal enemies list and anyone foolish enough to hire him in the future will NOT get my vote.
If your judgement is that impared to trust Karl, then they are worthless to me and cannot be trusted.
