He was on Fox News with the Trip fellow and he consistently got the numbers correct indicating a Romney loss.

He was also absolutely on target in Delaware.

In spite of his politics, he seems to be correct a lot

What?! Because Rove was soooo right about Crist. What a truckload of BS. I can’t understand how people continue to polish the turd that is Karl Rove.

Addressing in order.

1. Self-proclaim philosophy. Too many followers of party establishment used Rove as the gold standard. When he said a state was safe for Obama, all national pulled out of that state - despite denials. I saw that first hand last election. 2. A blind squirrel could see that, but Rove needs to shut his mouth if he wants to be a strategist. You can be a strategist or a commentator. They are different jobs. 3. Rove lost 2/3 of his races or more last time.

Rove got lucky with Bush. He's arguably good on GOTV circa 2004 (and Bush only won due to Kerry being a traitor and swift-boated), although a lot of that was Mehlman and Dowd. His strategy was targetted at soccer mom types after the Clinton elections. He was brutal in primaries and overly nice and weak in generals. Bush didn't fight back. McCain didn't. Romney was brutal in primaries but a pansy in the general. That had Rove's prints and tactics all over it and it bombed.
