"For the life of me I can’t find a single one who’ll even dare to state that there’s anything right about getting on national TV and trashing your winning candidate a few minutes after victory."

It's called anger, okay? I'm not defending him, he was wrong for doing it. But he's also human. As a Republican operative he sees a chance for the Pubbies to take over the Senate and he thinks that the voters of Delaware just screwed that up.

I also disagree with his analysis. Besides, even under the best of circumstances the Pubbies only get to around 51 seats. A majority in the Senate with 51 seats is pretty useless. There will still be gridlock and Obama will have the "majority" party to blame it on when he runs in 2012. It's much better and more important to take over the house. Per the Constitution all spending bills start there. We can strangle the healthcare funding for two years and get rid of it after 2012 with a pubbie President.

Again, I think Karl Rove was wrong and is still wrong in his criticism of O'Donnell. However, I'm not going to be calling him a RINO or say he's part of the problem after he's fought a lifetime for conservative not necessarily republican causes.
