Karl Rove throws in the towel and disses O'Donnell (vanity)

Talk about sour grapes! Karl Rove just regurgitated on Hannity all the RINO talking points against Christine O'Donnell and basically says he thinks this is no longer a seat the GOP can win. She's got "character flaws," didn't explain to the voters the discrepency in her college degree, Castle was the other "conservative" choice for voters...It's all over for Karl, his fellow RINO lost to an actual Big "C" Conservative.

[School of Rational Thought]

Karl Rove gifting campaign fodder for leftists.

[Mr. Mojo]

I’ve despised RINO Rove ever since he told Tom Tancredo to “never darken the doors of the White House again” after the latter had the nerve to question Bush’s pro-amnesty, open-borders policies.

[DTogo]

If Castle had won, Rove would have been pontificating on how we were to all now get behind the RINO in order to win.

Indeed, how many times upside the head with a 2x4 will it take?

[brydic1]

Rove really understands politics, right. He led the republican party to a disaster in 2006 and greatly helped its defeat in 2008. I only hope he joins up with the democrats where he actually belongs and leads them just as he did Bush and the republican party.

Rove, and the rest of the RINOs need to get their collective heads out of their butts and read the writing on the wall - the PEOPLE are speaking. We're sick of business as usual. We're sick of liberal vs. liberal-lite. We're sick of compromising with an enemy that closely resembles the leadership of the Soviet Union. We're sick of business as usual in Washington.

This is a moment of clarity for Rove - either he gets on the bandwagon with THE PEOPLE or he becomes irrelevant.

[RAR]

The sad thing is - he handed the Dems their footage for ads against her. Jerk.

[cynwoody]

But lets also be clear, Rove understands politics, the demographics and geography that goes along with it....He is a smart man. Even when disagreeing with someone, respecting ones abilities is still prudent and smart.

The time for him to dump on O'Donnell was 24 hours ago, not tonight. Tonight he should be seeing her good points and be trashing Castle's RINOism.

[Reagan80]

Reagan was right...Thou shalt not speak ill of other Republican candidates...

[manc]

imagine the Rove AD for the left now against her.

some architect Rove.

Grow up RINO’s your time has come, you lost because we as voters are pissed off that you are going left all the time and you lot are out of touch with us.

[MountainDad]

2005: "Rove you magnificent bastard!"

2010: "Rove...you bastard."

LMAO!

[skully]

I used to like Karl but all I can say is FUKR and Dana Perino too while I’m at it.

Yeah Dana was a little snotty tonight.

I think the Establishment GOP/RINOS, didn't expect the Tea Party to have this kind of influence on GOP primaries in the East, and Establishment GOPers like Rove & Perino thought they would be able to ride the wave here, not get crushed by it. They are just beginning to grasp what they are up against, and they don't like it, hence the snottiness.

[rockvillem]

So a RINO with skeletons in his own closet attacks O’Donnell to help his MSM credibility? Go figure! I give him credit for his political know-how, but he was the architect of “compassionate conservatism” that helped usher in our current problem of HUGE government spending and surely helped set the stage for Obama. We need Reagan Republicans (or Democrats), not RINOs. The ruling class and its apologists (like Rove) just doesn’t get how mad those of us are who play by the rules, actually pay taxes, and work in the private sector. Throw ALL of these bums out.

[The Shrew]

Rove is a key reason the Bush Administration became a punching bag.

In retrospect, the fact that the leftists hated him tended to hide his ineffectiveness.

You assume he had the same goals as conservatives. I think he was very effective at keeping Rino's in place in Congress, setting the RNC table for a JEB run in 2012 and preventing the Bush Administration from being conservative.

One has to wonder what Karl's relationship with John McCain is like.

[Marty62]

Rove was spouting all the vitriol he come come up with against O'Donnell. What is it going to take to get thru to RINOs that they are an ENDANGER Species

[reasonisfaith]

Rove, you’re the one with character flaws.

Failing to understand the meaning of the ideology you pretend to support is a major one.

[nhwingut]

I’ve lost all respect for Rove and Dana Perino wasn’t too thrilled by the thought of an O’Donnell win either when she appeared on O’Reilly before the results were known.

Same here. Perino was on Hannity early on. She made no sense. And was just annoyed.

She said (something like) "Well Delaware Republicans are different than Alaska blah blah.. and Castle represents them." When Hannity said, "But Delaware Repubs are only voting and choosing O'Donnell." Of yeah. Ditz.

And Rove just took it to another level. He's a azz.

[The Theophilus]

Yeah, I know he reported nothing new, but he repeated it angrily on the heals of Christine’s victory. That’s a commercial for the Democrats.

Rove being a darling of the enemedia? For eight plus years he was Satan Incarnate to the Left, and now you suppose that he will be on the Leftists speaking circuit?

Did Rove drink from the same well as Arianna Huffington?

[manc]

he;s a coward who like others will not mention any social issues like the homosexual agenda.

[FrdmLvr]

Couldn't BELIEVE Rove would do that! He whines about how hard it's going to be for her to win, then he proceeds to TRASH her!

Her campaign needs to put together a Money Bomb for her immediately.
