[Gosh I love this neighborhood]

It looks like Rove was right.

Or Rove made it happen. I think he should have kept his mouth shut.

Rove, you magnificent bastard!

Rove's comments were a double-edged sword. I'd point out that in saying what he did he not only solidified and focused support for O'Donnell, he also spurred a fundraising drive that gave her a much larger warchest than she would have had otherwise. I think it's open to debate whether he hurt her, or helped her and people are going to be discussing the matter long and far into "beating a dead horse" scenario.
