Republican success will depend on having quality Senate candidates, Rove wrote in The Wall Street Journal on Thursday. Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock self-destructed last fall, and other candidates squandered important opportunities. Romney and Tommy Thompson lost too.
Rove marches from failure to failure and still they throw money at him. He represents the wing of the party that is determined to hold on even if that means always being in the minority. They want to use the minority status to put money into their pockets; to hell with the public good.
