Castle was THE establishment candidate. The guy got over $1,000,000 from big business PAC’s and O’Donnell got $0. The reason, Castle knows how to play the game, he brings home the pork. Rove was heavily invested in Castle having traveled to DE to attempt to undercut TP support for Castle months ago. Didn’t work, Karl’s boy got smoked.
His philosophy is why CA never gets any money from the
‘establishment’ as run by Karl. Put your money where there is a chance to win. Because of O’Donnell’s shortcomings, Karl would and did back a candidate with a better chance of winning, i.e. Castle. He’s concerned with the R behind the name being in office, not the ‘what’s good for America’ question. We got Arlen back into the Senate because of Karl’s philosophy and the shortsightedness of it all became crystla clear when ARlen switched parties.
That he made it personal against O’Donnell is where the head scratching comes in. Maybe he was also chewing out the voters - who are in no mood to be put down.
As Mahda Rushie always says.....Follow The MONEY !
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.
I say old numbers because Palin, Bachman and the Tea Party changed all that.
I have no doubt at all that O Donnell will beat Coons it probably won't even be close.
Rove is a good guy and he is very much wanting a Republican majority. Everyone is entitled to be wrong at times without meaning they have gone over to the dark side.
I know someone who is working his heart out to help Republicans in this election and he thinks the Republicans have no chance to pic up this seat.
I do not share that pessimism but I know the heart of my friend and I do not for one moment suspect his true loyalties.
