Ridiculous. The democrats had all of that and were already talking about it.
You want to paint Rove as the villain here, but you’re merely repeating the prevailing wisdom because he’s on the outs with the party right now.
Rove invented nothing, uncovered nothing, merely repeated. The idea that the democrats were not intending to bash her with all that ammo, but Rove woke them up and instead of sitting around saying ‘Darn, we can’t attack her, those mean Republicans will fight back!’ they perked up and realized “Oh, boy, Karl Rove attacked her, now WE can!”
Utterly ridiculous and for all your quoting from your rhetoric text, it’s merely spun from your imagination and has nothing to do with the actual democrat playbook.
No other person who ran last night had their win or loss described as “He owed it to the party” or “She lost because of the party.”
O’Donnell failed because O’DONNELL failed, not because Karl Rove told the truth that was common knowledge.
Yeah Darkwolf it’s such a good idea to have famous neocons like Rove attacking the Republican nominee. </s>
I don’t think that Rove actually did much harm. Of course, he should never be hired again, unless it’s by the Democrats.
Here’s the list:
Podhoretz, Frum, Gerson, Brooks, Kristol, Krauthammer, Perino, Rove
They have to be fired by whoever allows them to pose as good Republicans.
Sure, it hurt more that Castle wouldn’t endorse Christine than whatever the weasel Rove and his neocons had to say, and at least now we know who needs to rebrand themselves as Conservative Democrats.
One person and only one person is responsible for the overall management of a campaign and that is the candidate. Who they hire and place in charge of various functions within the campaign will be a major determinate in how successful the candidate is. Win or lose the buck stops at the top.
Which is EXACTLY what I said.
But if your own side is trashing you the very night you win an upset, what message does that send to the undecideds, who might not even have heard of you until that moment?
And on FOX News of all places?
Cheers!
