We'll win that fight, Karl. Tell Mitt that, okay?

[wendy1946]

Being the guiding hand of that Bush admin had to be sort of like being a turkey farmer...

I am still a Karl Rove Fan

Gravitas.

Hard to define, easy to recognize. There is an establishment path to it, and then there is another.

The pillsbury doughboy will wish he had more before long.

[G Larry]

Rove is speaking in the Denver Metro area Friday night with Hugh Hewitt.
It will be the smallest audience Hugh has ever experienced here.

Rove has turned off a broad segment of active conservatives.

Sarah Palin's Ping List

[Interesting Times]

“There are high standards that the American people have for it [the presidency] and they require a certain level of gravitas, and they want to look at the candidate and say 'that candidate is doing things that gives me confidence that they are up to the most demanding job in the world’,” Rove said.

Like Obama's recent chat with Jon Stewart? Or how about his little sit-down with the viragos on The View?

C'mon, Karl, catch a clue.

the tea party was born out of rejection of bush/rove vision for gop

How stupid is Rove to fight these fights? He is destroying his reputation w/the very people he lives off of.

Pray for the Elections

[b]a note from conservative strategist and Reagan biographer, Craig Shirley. “Before criticizing Sarah Palin, Mr. Rove might remember that Ronald Reagan once hosted a couple of television shows including G.E. Theater and Death Valley Days,” Shirley said.[/b]

[SatinDoll]

I remember watching Ronald Reagan on TV. The program was called, ‘Death Valley Days’, I believe.

All honest work has gravitas.

Hewitt is a Romney man himself.

I did forget I am a American Crossroads supporter too.

I figure this guy is trying to latch on to a RINO campaign down the road. He has zero chance of ever latching onto a conservative tea party candidate so he is peddling his wares polishing up his RINO resume. The sad part of this is FOX is giving him a platform to spew his garbage. I will never forgive him for his outburst about O’Donnell. Had he just said he did not think she was the best candidate I could have lived with that but he went out of his way to torpedo her on a national platform and in effect teed her up for every derranged lib media type out here to go after her. Rove has never met a RINO he did not like IMO and along with his stand on amnesty I cannot stomoch the guy.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

“Personally I’ve always liked Rove, but it is painfully obvious that he is losing his connection with the American people, and no longer has his finger on the very strong pulse of the conservative movement in this country, which is fueled by the tea party and figures such as Gov. Palin.”

I agree with this statement because I feel the same way.

[Clyde5445]

Didn’t Hewitt do an event with Sarah a little while ago in Denver. Hewitt was ah stuck by Sarah’s speech.

[frankenMonkey]

Not only did Reagan host them, Death Valley Days was being shown on TV with him as host during his campaign for governor.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

I will never forgive him for his outburst about O’Donnell. Had he just said he did not think she was the best candidate I could have lived with that but he went out of his way to torpedo her on a national platform and in effect teed her up for every derranged lib media type out here to go after her.

I agree. For a guy who always seemed to keep his cool, Rove was totally out of control when it came to O'Donnell.

[Mr. Mojo]

“What Rove is saying, and other Republicans are saying, [is that] if you look at the polls, Palin is not qualified to be president,”

So if all the polls show Sarah to be unelectable, what are all the RINOs so worried about? Seems they should just be content to watch her fail.
