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

ROFL!
He know more about “numbers” than you do;
I did not like to hear Rove be as honest as he was, but he does make sense.
She won the primary, now she must run an State wide run. she must explain to the State what she stand for.
BTW...she canceled all of her Sunday
appearances.
Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday has been prompting her alll week.
and shame on the person who called him Tokyo Rove.
>>>One place to start is with Russ Murphy of the Delaware 9-12 Patriots organization.<<<
Absolutely!
Russ went a bit further - told Rove that NOBODY was going to tell him or the group who they were to vote for!
Rove (I have heard) gave Russ the nickname ‘Grizzly’.
I would say it but then I would be just like Tokyo. Let your imagination run wild as to the real reason!!!
Karl may have his own faults ("amnesty" for votes/"family values don't end at the Rio Grande"), but he is keenly perceptive as to how to win elections state by state. Nevertheless, even Joe and Jane Average could look at Chris O'Donnell's history and come to the conclusion that she isn't someone who they would want to elect to their church social committee, let alone the Senate.
I am NO Rino
I am not a name caller
I don't jump ship when someone I like goes against my idea once in a while
I am not a closed minded robot!
About Castle in all reports I read about him. , hewas a shoe in for that seat, what Rove said was now Delaware is a crap shoot.
BTW..why did she cancel TV shows today.
was it because she has to defend the positions that Rove knows about?
I heard Rove Say, he hopes she does win, but she must answer questions now, not just say “it's on my website”
That won't fly in a general election when debates are on live TV.
I hope she wins. but I o respect Karl Rove and his “numbers”
Cheers!
The ruling party party class of GOP bosses, pubbie
congressional heads, insider pubbie pundits and
campaign strategists.. those who decide whom we
should want and they think we should choose.
If it’s true, as it appears to be, that Rove may
have advised Castle, even if unpaid, should he
not have had the decency and integrity to issue
an honest disclaimer with his brutal O’Donnell
outburst?
And separate from that, it was an outrageous
and very slimey personal attack on O’Donnell,
AFTER she won .. someone on OUR side! Totally
unrestrained arrogance and unforgiveable. And
it intuitively smelled of something weirdly
emotional, and very fishy.
But the voters apparently bucked the insider’s
(establishment’s) wishes and grand plans to get
a RINO in DE, without the professional pundits’
aproval .. smashed egos. Too bad. We’re not just
their numbers for crunching.
We are in the most frightening and decisive chapter
in this nation in my entire lifetime, and I wasn’t
born 20 years ago.
All hands on deck, including pubbie pols and
professional politicos with the savvy and sense
to read the tea leaves.
We are raging against The Machine.
Thanks STARWISE
The term Bush Derangement Syndrome really applies to those who think W and the rest of his clan are even vaguely conservative. This is a family of Eastern inherited wealth; the typical power base of country-club Republicanism. H.W. never won any elective office beyond the House until Ronald Reagan let his niceness get the better of him and tabbed G.H.W. Bush, the leader of the anti-Reagan forces, as his VP. Bush won one term because people thought he would be a continuation of Reagan. When he turned out to be another country-club wimp, they turned on him. They thought Dubya was different, thanks to his TX accent and evangelical affectations, but no-—we got No Child Left Behind, No Spending Bill Vetoed, new entitlement programs, and a complete collapse of conservative principles. We got a war which history will probably show did not advance American interests. All this from a guy who, despite his family connections, could not make a go of it in the awl bidness and had to fall back on a subsidized monopoly baseball team. We the People have had enough of these Eastern Ivy-League elitists. No more Bushes. No more Romneys. Let’s have somebody who actually earned a living doing productive work, who knows the devastating impact of taxes on middle-class people, who has consistent conservative principles. There is no shortage of such people; we never again need to look to the Eastern elitists for candidates.
He took the Castle consulting job on a contingency basis.
Sullivan gets two a month.
There are so many inaccuracies in your post,
it’s hardly worth the effort, but I’ll give you
one.
Bush vetoes Iraq spending bill over timelines
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18412464/
President Bush used his veto pen for only the second time Tuesday after Congress sent him a war spending bill that would impose timelines to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq, which he called a prescription for chaos.

Might be good to go back and study up. Good start
Bush Derangement Syndrome can indeed be cured, but first one must take powerful antipsychotic meds to overcome delusions that a punk son of Eastern preppies had anything to do with conservatism.
Ha...ha...[barf]...ha. When you are mature enough to justify how your punk hero and his baseball-playing UT buddy imprisoned some Border Patrol officers for merely doing their job against the La Raza invasion of the U.S., maybe you will be worthy of coming onto this forum.
Just promise you’re not going to hit me with your purse!!
I believe C. Rove is peddling a book.
Wouldn’t be surprising.
