The night Christine O'Donnell won the GOP nomination for Senate in Delaware, party stalwart Karl Rove flipped out, and warned that she was a liar, of ill-character, and generally not the kind of person that the party should get behind.
It only took an instant for other party leaders like Rush Limbaugh and Michelle Malkin to flip out right back at him. But why did Rove take this tack? It's not because he's not into right-wingers

BINGO!!.....the good ol’ Boy RNC network would rather lose elections then their “power”....
NOT A NICKEL TO THEM TILL THEY GET WITH THE PROGRAM!
(they need to hear it in letters and e-mails)
Welp....hmmmmm
What’s that saying...don’t go looking for the more complicated when the most obvious is likely the answer?
Using that theorem....I’d have to agree with you.
He has Chron’s disease?
Romney’s not going anywhere but home.
If you asshats make him our special delicious served up candidate we will stay home.
The real rea$on? Mitt’$ dollar$ in Karl’$ pocket$...and Karl i$n’t doing the job for the Mitt$ter’$ poll number$.
He has been rather bitchy all week.
Be interesting to see him do the rounds on the alphabet channels in the morning.
Nope.
He’s pregnant.
The problem is there are a lot of “R's” who like playing for the other team's legislative agenda.
Same reaction to Mitt Romney when I first saw him.
This is the real point. Rove was part of Castle's campaign. I would not be surprised if he was the "architect" for that pathetic RINO. Castle lost. Rove lost. Castle was ungracious and showed himself as a POS. Rove was ungracious and showed himself as a POS. I don't think you have to dig any deeper than this.
And when the town halls began last summer, Kraut urged us all to quite down, don't be rude, it looks bad.
Then the tea party rallies began and his first instinct was to say they would not amount to much.
And they refused to sound the alarm on Obama during 08.
As professionals they have failed to give us good info, failed to protect us.
We should urge Fox to be rid of them, they have outlived their usefulness.
And replace them with more astute political observers.
>>Guess who is on Fox News Sunday now that O’Donnell has backed out? Yep, “Bush’s Brain”<<
They were going to have both of them on before she opted out. Can you imagine the trap that would have been?

Thanks for that info. Guess FNC (or Wallace individually) was looking to have the highest Sunday talkshow ratings with a cliff hanger of a confrontation.
Barf. Since when is backing big-government moderate Dubya "being into right-wingers?"
Rove and his ilk failed utterly to define, advance, or defend conservatism in the past decade. Rove is a (sometimes) shrewd opportunist and political operative, not a principled conservative and also not the demi-god that many have made him out to be. His emotional outbursts this week reveal an enormous amount about how he views grass-roots conservatives to be the real threat to his power and influence. Rove loves people like Mike Castle and he has been extremely squishy-soft about scummy Demagogues from Gore to Kerry to Obama not to mention the Clintons.
There is a definite war of ideology going on between We The People and the Establishment. I think the anger shown goes far deeper than mere money. They were the movers and shakers, shaping the direction our nation was going. That we object and counter that direction isn’t being taken lightly. I expect to see alot more outrage.
Wasn’t it Rove who said, “Where else are they going to go?”, a snide reference to conservative voters unhappy with establishment picks. It was the ultimate in arrogance and elitism. It did not sit well. The Tea Party is the result.
It will be a fight to the death; our nation is at stake.
Here’s the problem: DeMint, much as I like him, wants Romney. Rove wants Romney.
I want to believe Sarah does’t want him, but she did tell him to ‘go West’.
And Mittens has been awful quiet lately.
You tell me?
The R’s have held both houses of Congress a total of 6 years since 1945. The Dems have had both houses 22 of those years.
Epic FAIL.
