Rove: Don’t Worry, 2012 GOP Candidates Busy with Strategy. Country: Duh — That’s Why We’re Worried
After his behavior in 2010, the fact that he’s still around for the 2012 election is extremely depressing. I blame Fox News. They continued to give him a microphone when he deserved a slow fade into obscurity.
They plan on opening the grand strategy and going firmly, totally, and completely on the offensive on "D" (for "D-feat D-ems") Day: February 1, 2013!!!
That'll show 'em!
Until that very day, it's all very "hush hush" dontchaknow!
Um. Conservative 40%. Moderate 40%, Liberal 20%
The reason why Democrats have to appeal to the center is because the Liberal base is not large enough. Conservatives only need 11% Moderates, while Liberals need 31% Moderates
Rove had his moment in time. It has passed.
Karl Rove, the man most responsible for destroying the Republican brand (circa 2006-2008), now wants to pick and choose who our nominee for ‘12.
Will the Bushies please retire already.
Too bad no one told Fox News and Hannity.
Rove did himslelf in during the last election by his conduct in Delaware. He will not go quietly into the dark. Will someone please push him?
Rove apparently dislikes change.He is very passee.
That would be circa 2006-2010.
What an indelible backstabber Rove turned out to be
during that time --- against GOP conservative candidates.
"Rove has made no secret
of his support for Romney as McCain's VP. "
Rove did himslelf in during the last election by his conduct in Delaware.
I just can’t believe he has that much power. I mean people must be absolutely stupid if they can’t make up their mind themselves as to who should represent Delaware. His one sentence ended up being the reason that the Republican Candidate lost.....that is 100 percent sad. People should decide for themselves and not somebody else.
And they'll fool most FReepers most of the time. Just play on the "Do you want 4 more years of Obama?" angle and neglect to mention the GOP in the house is a pack of wimps that won't play hardball. FReepers filled with fear will be lining up to vote for the anointed RINO candidate.
Like that old Simpsons episode where the aliens control both candidates like marionettes. "What are you going to do? It's a two-party system."
Never underestimate the power of the status quo and never underestimate the ability of people too timid to step outside the status quo to rationalize their timidity.
Herman Cain seems to be the only one to come out swinging so far.
FReepers filled with fear will be lining up to vote for the anointed RINO candidate.
Well of course because it is the most important election in history don’t you know....lol. I have heard that said about 2012 already from quite a few FREEPERS.....I thought it was 2010 and than 2008 and then 2006....I believe we hear this every election.
Herman Cain is associated with the Federal Reserve. Unless he repudiates them and starts calling for a full audit or an end to the Fed, he’s probably their proposed dark horse “outsider”.
Never trust a bankster. They are the reason we have the economic mess we have today.
There is a front runner, she gave a wonderful speech in India over the weekend.
Rove and the "king-makers" don't want Sarah and so they either denigrate her or just ignore her and pretend that she doesn't exist or matter.
Over 1,500 people paid $ 2,500 per head to listen to Sarah speak.
There was some pablum but well given and the Q & A session was excellent.
She gave good crisp answers and this speech will either be cherry picked by the msm or completely ignored.
Sarah is visiting Bibi in Israel on her return.
If she decides to run, she goes to the top of the group by 30 points.
I get an uneasy feeling that the Republican elite (country-club set) have already conceded 2012 to the Dems, thinking that the GOP will keep the House and gain the Senate; thus, setting the agenda for the next 4 years, anyway.
Most of the top tier and the 2nd tier potential GOP nominees are just not going to win against Obama. A slight improvement in the economy, in job numbers, perceived inflation kept down, and Obama wins. Especially if the GOP nominee is Gingrich or Romney or Barbour or Huckabee. McCain lost by 2-to-1 Electoral votes. The GOP nominee has to overcome that and most of the retreads can’t.
