He’s taking shots because these are two unelectable canidates. O’Connell is dropping like a rock. Her silly, “I am not a witch” ad and the rest have finished her off.
As for Palin, the American people made a mistake once voting for a candidate with a bloated ego, thin resume, and cult following. They aren’t likely to do it again.
Rove is responsible for O’Donnell’s impending loss in Delaware.
He killed her momentum and cast doubt on her qualifications with his childish, spoiled brat rant the night she won the nomination.
Think about it - what was his objective? What could he hope to accomplish? She had already won the nomination so why didn’t he at the least keep his whining trap shut?
I believe Rove resents every Tea Party backed candidate who wants to uproot the corrupt two party system.
Yes, RINO’s and most establishment republicans want to take control from democrats but they definitely like the system. They are just waiting for their turn to take home the lion’s share of the loot once more.
He’s taking shots because these are two unelectable candidates and Rove is an experienced political operative who knows how to win. O’Connell is dropping like a rock. Her silly, “I am not a witch” ad and the rest have finished her off.
As for Palin, the American people made a mistake once voting for a candidate with a bloated ego, thin resume, and cult following. They aren’t likely to do it again. She’s polarizing and now grossly overexposed. She’s popping up everywhere. I’m tired of her frenetic manner and hectoring personality. Enough already.
One thing to note.
Rove is a political image manager.
Sarah Palin is an image supernova. Her management of her own image is so much better than anything anybody has seen before that principles and practices of the entire field have been called into question.
She is herself. She doesn’t perseverate on reversing her own negatives. She ruthlessly uses the media underestimation of her strengths to find new opportunities to develop her own celebrity.
For Karl Rove, this just isn’t how you do things. He works and schemes to get “channels” on the side of his candidate (or party, or position). The notion that Sarah Palin can just blow right by the “channels” is a slap in the face of what he is and what he does. Sooner or later every candidate (and party, and position organization) is going to try to figure out how Palin does it rather than hiring Karl Rove or one of his peers to do it the way that Karl Rove does it.
In short:
Palin is a serious rival for image consultants as well as for politicians.
A good (best-selling, widely read) book, a ton of ink and air-time, some bold politicking, some catch-phrase speeches (to big audiences), a travel show on TV and Palin will have turned an apparent losing brand into the best-known conservative personality in the U.S.
Rove has taken some credit for doing something like that for Bush, but Palin’s achievement far outshines that and she’s still going strong.
Carl who?
Rove is a disgrace. He needs to join the Dhimmis. And FNC, please get this double agent OFF your network.
