He is trying to sell himself as the power broker and magician with the win in his pocket. The man lost the popular vote in his first Presidential victory and won by a very slim margin in his second. Contrast that with Lee Atwater and even Reagan himself. The republicans have been losing election after election exactly because of men like kkkarl rove and their "vision".

Exactly. Tokyo Rove never puts money into GOTV efforts because there aren’t and advertising dollars for the liberal media stations in the deal.
Plus, he hates talking to Grassroots Conservatives. He despises us.

Has Karl Rove ever dominated an election cycle?
In 2000,2002,2004 and 2006 he did a weak job.
To: jimbo123
He’s been planning his run for 10 years. It never once occurred to him or his crack staff that socialists might attack his capitalist business?
It never once occurred to anyone that the democrats would demand to see his income taxes?
Apparently not because on both issues he sat flat on his heels for seeks before he figured out how to respond to the attacks.

Cliff notes:
- should have defended Bain
- should have nixed Clint and his chair
Not a thing about attacking the current regime. Typical.

Karl is simply trying to remain relevant and employed. It's a doomed endeavor, thank goodness.
Romney was never going to be elected.

Romney lost because he wasn’t willing to get down and dirty to win. That and he offered little more than abstract talk, hoping that hate of Obama alone would carry him.
Instead, millions of voters sat home like they did 4 years ago.
Rove is just a vulture looking for more money to pick off of marks.

Bull !
Romney was a young Bob Dole.
Forgettaboutit...
To: jimbo123
Liar! Do the math Karl Drove The GOP OFF THE CLIFF! Romney could have got 70% of the “hispanic” vote and still WOULD HAVE LOST!
What is the #1 reason he lost? He was a HORRIBLE candidate and a moron too boot.
And when you PISS OFF THE BASE, you lose.
Rove was probably on the Bush team when they were stabbing Reagan in the back.
