In a winning organization, you praise publicly and reprimand privately.
Rove's ego as chooser of candidates outweighed his desire for a winning organization.
He trashed the candidate his parties constituents chose. If you can't see the problem with that behavior, you've got more issues than TV Guide.
By the way...Sarah Palin endorsed her. Why don't you criticize Sarah for linking O'Donnell to Palin?
While Rove didn’t choose the Republican candidate for senate in Delaware, he did indeed choose to do all he could to ensure the Republican candidate so chosen lost against a “bearded marxist.”
Accept COD as “worthy” or not, as the chosen candidate by Delaware Republicans, she had the right to expect support from the RNC, including Rove. For him, and “establishment Republicans,” to deny her, to work against her, was grievous. Amounting to a shot across the bow aimed toward the TEA Party.
Rove is a RINO. I personally intend to do all within my power to see to the extinction of all RINOsaurs. We should never compromise with socialists and marxists. Not now, not ever. To that end, we take no prisoners.
Bottom line, whatever COD was perceived to be by some of the establishment Republicans like Rove, she was 1000% better than the “bearded marxist” who was elected.
