I’d say Karl Rove engineered the biggest flop of all: Mitt Romney!
Based on all models, it is almost impossible that the Republicans don’t take the Senate. However with Republicans failure is always possible.
I have stated on FreeRepublic what I thought should be done to Karl Rove and got a 1 week ban for it. Needless to say I HOPE NOTHING good happens to Rove.
good advice, we will avoid nominating anyone like Bush, Dole, McCain, or Romney!
thanks for reminding us!
Shut up, Chubby. After last November’s debacle, who in their right mind would take advice from a loser like you.
Rove attacked Gov. Palin to THROW Election 2008 for
his loser candidate in 2012.
The result: Obama1 and Obama2.
Tokyo Rove owes every American an apology, and
then he should return the hundreds of millions he stole.
more like the bag man and money launderer for the GOP-e mob.
Rove hawked Bush, McCain, Romney...
Lets recall Bush couldn’t beat the likes of Gore or Kerry by more than a very slim margin.
Now he knows exactly how to win the Senate. And his prescription sounds a lot like running McCain candidates.
Is there a place where Republicans can go and unsubscribe to Carl Rove’s mouth.
Like Connie Mack, Tommy Thompson, and George Allen? Oh, he’s not talking about those failed candidates. He’s only cherry picking the ones HE didn’t like. He wants more Charlie Crists, Bob Bennett’s and Dewhursts. Those guys can’t lose!
Rove is the GOP version of Bob Shrum.
He must mean candidates like Romney,
Pray for America to Wake Up
You’re so smart. You know everything. Why don’t you try running for an office Karl?
“GOP strategist Karl Rove says Republicans have a good chance of taking the Senate from Democrats in 2014 if they avoid nominating the types of candidates who stumbled badly in once competitive 2012 races.”
I assume Fat Boy is talking about his own chosen candidates. I wouldn’t want this blow-hard handling my campaign money.
Karl, simple question.
how many of ‘your’ candidates’ won v. the TEA Party’s in 2012?
I have no interest whatsoever in your opinions about political strategy.
Not because you are a moderate Republican. I can get along reasonably well with some moderate Republicans.
No. The reason why I have no interest in your opinions is that you are a loser.
So go take your whiteboard, coat it well with Vaseline, and insert it somewhere where it will no longer be visible.Because loser.
I’m not sure what’s worse, liberals who won’t shut up or their GOP-E enablers who won’t shut up.
I can’t help but think that when the time comes and Americans at long last run out of patience, the pushback is going to be harder than anyone can imagine.
Is it time already to hear that we should only nominate candidates who “can win”?
We won’t be listening to Rove. Some of his favorites are going down this election cycle, Linseed Graham among them.
This election is about more than making Dirty Harry the minority leader. They’re about clearing out the traitors too. Taxby Chambliss is hitting the retirement home. We can replace him with one of ours, Paul Broun. Mace seems to be building the groundwork for deposing Graham. Lenard could take down Alexander with enough support.
The other GOP replacement opportunities don’t spring to mind right away. Cochrane in Mississippi. And then is it Johanns (retiring) and Enzi? We need good candidates to take those seats for conservatives.
We need six seats to flip the senate, and we’re unlikely to lose any since Collins is safe and the bugging scandal has discredited Rats in Kentucky.
Two seats will pretty much guaranteed flip to us with relatively moderate Repubs, Rounds in South Dakota, and Capito in West Virginia.
We need four more. A true conservative could destroy Pryor in Arkansas, send him the same way as Lincoln in 2010. Landreiu has the potential to go down in similar flames as well after her votes against the 2nd Amendment. Cassidy is a good replacement.
Two more. Possibles are Begich in Alaska and Hagan in North Carolina. Begich almost lost to a guy who was under investigation. We need candidates to come forward here.
Of course, I’m still hoping to see Senator King from Iowa.
We don’t need Rove to take the senate form these chumps. In fact, he’ll likely lose us seats, like the one in Montana we could have taken from Tester.
I know ... Republicans can take back the Senate by nominating DEMOCRATS!
Brilliant, Karl. Simply brilliant!
