Said that Rove went to the 9/12 group and O'Donnell awhile back and tried to cut a deal to get them to withdraw from the campaign - and they refused. Apparently somebody from 9/12 said this at O'Donnell's campaign HQ last night.
And if that is true, then Rove simply is functioning true to form. As I stated, he is (or was), a "hired gun."
