Karl Rove Says Cain’s Finished, Zogby ‘Says He Trounces’ Romney Head-to-Head
Big Government ^ | 10/31/11 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 10/31/2011 4:15:18 PM PDT by Evil Slayer

When Gov. Sarah Palin was deciding whether or not to get into the presidential race, Karl Rove was popping up on Fox News to talk about why her skin was too thin for the job. And when Gov. Rick Perry was thinking about his entrance into the race, Rove was Johnny-on-the-spot with reasons why a Perry candidacy would not be viable either.

Now Rove’s moved on to Herman Cain, whose candidacy he’s doing all he can to sink, sidetrack, or

On Fox News this past Monday, Rove did his best Mr. Rogers imitation by holding up a small dry-erase board with words (and phrases) for the day like “abortion, neoconservative, Afghan policy,” etc. According to Rove, Cain’s “gaffes” in these areas have rendered him unelectable.

How so? Well, according to Rove: “I think it has created an image of him as not being up to this task. [And] that’s really deadly.”

Of course, it’s important to keep in mind the fact that Rove is an establishment Republican who supports McRomney And if someone really wants to focus on gaffes, they should focus on McRomney’s deception on hiring illegal lawn care workers, his full-blown support of Roe v. Wade not so long ago, his support of the assault weapons ban, his support of the Brady Bill, and his ongoing belief in manmade global warming, among other things.

But I guess all that wouldn’t fit on Rove’s little board.

Anyway, while on Fox News Monday Rove talked about how there was “a hint” that Cain’s numbers had peaked sometime between October 6th and October 10th, and they “had begun to slide slightly since then.” In other words, “Move on, people; there’s nothing to see here.”

However, the latest Zogby poll, taken October 18-21, well after Cain’s supposed “slide” had begun, shows .

And who was cheerleading THAT election disaster?

Certainly not Rove. Rove was absolutely in favor of Mike Castle who polled well against Coons. In fact Castle probably would have defeated Coons and we would have 1 more Republican in the Senate. But the people on this site were in favor of O'Donnell big time. They insisted she could win although the polls showed she would lose. Now I not in favor of the polls most of the time but when it gets down to 1 or 2 candidates then they can mean something. Of course O'Donnell was slaughtered in the general just as Rove said she would be. Rove didn't doom O'Donnell. O'Donnell's wackiness doomed her candidacy Rove understood through his years in politics that O'Donnell was perceived as a kook and that even if she wasn't that was the perception. So the foolish voters in Delaware voted for her and got themselves another Democrat in the Senate. Something similar happened in California where the Republicans nominated Fiorina instead of Tom Campbell. Campbell had a much better chance against Boxer than Fiorina but the stupid voters went with Fiorina and got their asses handed to them.

It’s time for Karl Rove to leave the Republican scene. He can always get a job on MSNBC.

“Some of us said, many months ago, that Rove’s pet, Geo. W. Bush, was not a conservative. That earned us savage bashing.”

Yup. And a cherished Badge of Honor it is.

Bullshite! If you expect us to trust Politico you are full of it. Take your Romney-lovin troll arse somewhere else.

Guess what Skippy, if you think I’m a romney supporter, you have never read my posts about him, or you are not very bright.

Time for Rove to go. If he hadn’t opened his big yap, we wouldn’t have had to defend him and Bush in the Valerie Plame thing.

Well most on FR are smart enough to know that anything that comes from Politico (i.e. a site that is left of Pravda)is suspect at best. Cain will easily weather this mild storm.
