I disagree with you on Christine O’Donnell. But rather than argue that, I just want to make a simple point.

Supporting her opponent in the primary was Rove’s right, even though Castle was a flaming leftist. At least Rove could argue that Castle had a better chance of winning the general election. I don’t agree, but there can be differences of opinion.

Coming out and viciously attacking O’Donnell AFTER she won the primary is another matter entirely. There is no possible justification for such traitorous behavior. Castle lost. She won. You don’t undermine the winning candidate AFTER she has won the primary—which Rove and many other insiders did— unless you have purely selfish reasons, such as fear that if she wins, maybe she will clean the corrupt RINOs out of the Delaware Republican party. And maybe she won’t consult Carl Rove or ask for his advice.

Too bad. She won. If you don’t like that, then just shut up, Carl. And you shut up, too, Cindy McCain.

I assume that would apply to Freepers viciously attacking RINO winners of primaries?

The double standard here is sick.

You are absolutely right on the point.

Rove did NOT make the arguments against CO’D, with his platform, BEFORE the DE primary. Somehow that kept getting missed by some people.

Rove had all the GOP takeover calculations down pat, but DE Republican primary voters threw him off track. That still does not excuse his disastrous ‘analysis’.

The fact that Christine O Donnell is trailing badly in the polls is simply due to the fact that she is a lousy candidate with no campaign skills and has no clue on what it takes to win election.

It is evident clearly the number of missteps She has done since winning the primary and she is trailing even after raising more money than coons!

Stop whinging and whining about Rove and accept some responsibility for a change, this is about a lousy candidate who is incompetent.

Exactly.
