This loss wasn’t about Rove or “establishment Republicans”, it was about a bad candidate, period. Rove and Krauthammer and a few others called it correctly - she had no chance of winning because she was a bad candidate...

Rove's behavior was inexcusable. He could have just as easily let her lose on her own merit; or do you think his trashing of her shortly after the primary was appropriate?

I believe the GOP will lose a lot of support due to his temper tantrum. It didn't exactly give the party, as a whole, a very united appearance.

Not appropriate at all; of course, I believe in Reagan’s 11th commandment. However, I also think that there’s a sizable contingent on FR who blame Rove for her entire loss, and while he was wrong in his tantrum, they’re wrong in their delusion.

I’ll take hotheads over delusional people any time... Conservatism is about logic, reason, rationality. Blaming Rove (I’m not saying you are, Bear) for O’Donnell’s loss is the antithesis of this. It’s not logical, reasonable, nor rational.
