"A few prominent Republicans I spoke with, especially former Bush officials, were thrilled that Rove finally said aloud what many were thinking: Palin was an embarrassment, even a threat to the party’s path back to power."

Rove appears to have sour-grapes over how things are changing before him in this article and will use his money to influence the 2012 election - he is use to the Top down heavy organization that he used for 30 years and now the Tea Party/Palin/Bachmann group is all about bottom down individuals that can not be controlled by people like him. He is trying to make sure the party doesn't change for the good, he also claims that there is no 'Republican Establishment' and even if he is technically right, the thinking of the inside the beltway Republicans is about the same things

No thanks.

Rove has as much credibility as James Carville....they should form a duet.

[Mmogamer]

Rove can stuff it.

The day Rove reasserts control of the party is the day I quit the Republican party.

It appears that the only way to get through to people like Rove is to utterly destroy their credibility and reputation from the grassroots, so that he becomes poison to any candidate for whom he consults.

That’s what will have to happen to change the Beltway RINO’s mind: destroy their “consultants.” Because as we all know, RINO’s have no backbone or mind of their own - they merely channel what hypnotic dispensers of statistical BS like Rove, Carville, Black, et al dispense.

No matter what one thinks of Rove in the past - I think most here on FR probably don’t like his “this is the way we do it” thinking which is the Establishment thinking that got us Obama

Tokyo has a real credibility problem that will last for at least a couple of decades.

[Prokopton]

You don’t get any more “yesterday” than Rover.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

There’s only one Bush I want to have in the White House, and it sure ain’t Jeb.

[Michael Barnes]

Rove's time has come and gone; it is as simple as that.
What Rove fails to realize is that D.C. is (both parties) dis-connected from the real America.

It's a new time Rove and there is no room for your yester-year rules for running parties.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

We're not afraid of Tokyo Rove making a comeback either, because we know he's yesterday's RINO.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Two words for “The Architect”.

Shut. Up.

[Lazamataz]

Rove is soooo 9/10/2001.

[Frantzie]

Rove + Jeb = open border RINOs.

[skeeter]

Rove, sans ‘magnificent’.

[DoughtyOne]

FU and STHU Rove. You’ve done enough damage to this nation.

[al baby]

Palins

[Never on my watch]

That should be just clever enough to get past the censors.
