It’s one thing to point out the “political” ramifications of the Delaware primary, it’s another thing to be downright nasty the way that Rove bashed O’Donnell on Hannity.
IMHO, Murkowski doesn’t expect to win but for reasons of personal bitterness and a sense of entitlement would rather split the vote just to defeat her political opponent. Republicans are now cursed with rogue politicians who out of sheer personal ambition refuse to follow the will of the voters in a primary election. Here in Florida we have the example of Charley Crist who knew he would roundly defeated by Marco Rubio in the Republican primary - so out of vanity, a personal quest for power and sheer ambition he chose to run as an Independent. For some of them I sincerely believe that destroying their rival by splitting the vote is actually more important than winning.
Smarmy? The author is smarmy for referring to Stevens as "sainted" and "ethically challenged." Stevens was cleared of wrongdoing but I guess those who threw him under the bus want to keep running over him, even after he has passed.
Classy. /s
When are you going to criticize Coons for his unelectablity because of his Marxist background and liar baggage?
Karl Rove has no explicitly defined political ideology. He’s an analyst and campaign strategist. If Hillary paid him generously tomorrow, he’d get her elected to any office she wanted with his skills. It’s on all the bottom line baby $$$.
During Karl Roves' meltdown on Tuesday night when he pointedly criticized the winner of the Delaware Republican primary for senator, Christine O'Donnell (he hasn't stopped, yet) Rove sounded more like some Democrat hack than anything else (I thought I was watching MSNBC for a moment). This elitist temper tantrum convinced me that Rove and others are Beltway elites who just don't want to face the reality that Obama is destroying our prosperity, our security and our freedom.
Ordinary Americans are rightfully frightened and angry - and determined to stop this slide toward European socialism, led by Obama, Reid and Pelosi. Guys like Karl Rove just see it all as a big chess game, moving the pieces around and the hell with that 'principle' stuff. Why, that kind of talk can make you 'unelectable'.
As Rush Limbaugh and many others have posited: who is Karl Rove, Charles Krauthammer or any other GOP 'insider' to tell the American people who and who is not 'electable'? They can go pound sand. I just hope that Fox drops Rove as soon as possible because I'm getting sick of looking at and listening to him and his lame explanations of why he bashed O'Donnell, while he keeps on bashing her, subtly, of course. Enough of these alleged Republican 'geniuses' that see politics as a big game and fail to realize the enormous stakes in the upcoming election. We, the people, can win elections and govern without their 'expertise'.
Darn good question about Rove.
Hi, Christine!
It hasnt even been 24 hours since Princess Lisa announced her write-in campaign. Can we give Karl a few more days to come out against her?
