see my post 50. I was wondering if Rove might not be really stabbing us but actually helping O'Donnell. I've thought about it today and it just didn't make sense for Rove to go all whack-a-doodle. He never did that even when Bush was getting killed by the networks and stabbed in the back by McCain and crew.

I just thought that maybe he did her a favor. What do you all think?

No. That was a visceral, emotional response that, like Obama, Rove has chosen to double-down on rather than to back away from.

It's the ego that drives one to double-down instead of accepting your loss and taking your remaining chips to play another day.

We used to call that spending "political capital." Apparently, even that has become so personalized that the slightest perceived slight brings on a full assualt.

To me, it's the political version of the high-school kid who, dumped by his girlfriend, brings a gun to school and randomly shoots everyone close to him in despair.

I do think his foolishness will help O’Donell...as far as him going whacko...he did so because his real liberal conscience caught up with him. The enemy within can disguise himself for a long time, but eventually his conscience catches up with him.

We need to recognize and weed out RINO’S.
