Even Karl Rove thinks Republicans should be wary of nominating an "extreme" candidate to take on President Obama.
In an appearance on Fox News Monday, Rove warned that presidential aspirants who run too far to the right in the GOP primary could end up reducing their electability in the general election.
"You don't want these candidates moving so right in the Republican primary that it becomes impossible for them to win the general election, because it will become a self-defeating message in the primary," Rove said.

the era of ‘compassionate conservatives’ is over. We are back to ‘conservatism is compassionate’, which works every time it is tried.
Would SOMEONE PLEASE COLD-COCK this STUPID SOB!!!

Malignant Bastard Rove never met a RINO he didn’t like.
Didn't he used to be somebody?
Shut up, Karl.
RE: Karl Rove Warns Against ‘Extreme’ Candidates In GOP Primary
Why isn’t he man enough to name names?
“Even” Karl Rove?! The left elected a dedicated communist. When (or if) we elect a dedicated constitutionalist, then there will be parity, but not before. Republicans have to become as dedicated to their ideology as the left.
Who gives a F- what Rover has to say?
This is the guy who turned what should have been a landslide victory in 2004 into a nail biter.
You cost us at least 2 Senate seats last time, don't compound your error.
ok we will not nominate kook paul.
we do have to keep in mind, like it or not, whoever wins has to be able to deliver an articulate CLEAR message. One that is more than vote against obama.
You would have to be pretty far right to be as extreme as Obama.
Keep the fats and salt flowing to that oleaginous bag of suet.
Shut up, Karl, and join the rebellion!! Enough of communism vs communism-lite. It’s still communism!!

People want to win. They don’t want somebody who goes so far to the extremes of either party that they lack a chance to carry a victory off in November.”
I hope Rove is going broke as we speak. No body who is important on our side even listen to this little fat SOB...Rove got credit for Bushes wins...when it was Bush who actually did what it took to win...Rove got credit where CREDIT WAS NEVER DUE....
Like who Karl?
Surely you must have someone in mind. This field is really fairly tame compared to the last election.
Hike up those big boy pants and tell us.
I know I’ll get flamed....but I’ve been saying the same thing right along.
