Toss Rove, Too.... he's a friggin IDIOT
Rove is no better or worse today than he was several months ago. He was not a sleuth then, he is not a bumb now.
It's not Rove's fault that many a repub candidate SUCKED. If you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig, or a limp wristed douche rino congressman from NY.
As the country has been bombarded with liberal sentiment from the media for so many years, I thought Rove did an excellent job. Really, we can't win them all, and the fact is that our party has been diluted by RINOs and gotten away from it's principles. We drove off our base. That's not Rove's fault, it's what he got left to work with.
And it's his job to be an optomist. Not a doom~n~gloomer.
We can't lay this at his feet. We can look to those RINOs who diverted us from our conservative roots by embracing populist views.
