GOP strategist Karl Rove says the GOP could lose the Senate majority unless the partys base of supporters volunteer more time and cash to the establishments preferred candidates.
The GOP will win a Senate majority only if Republicans open their wallets to candidates whom they may have never met, and clear their calendars to volunteer to identify and get out the vote, Rove wrote in Wall Street Journal op-ed.
The GOP needs the bases support even though the public is rejecting Democratic politicians, said Rove, who was nicknamed the architect when he helped President George W. Bush win the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections.
The presidents job approval numbers are lousy, no Democrat in a competitive Senate race polls regularly above 50% independents are trending Republican [and] the midterm environment is terrible for Democrats, he wrote. Yet each passing day provides evidence [that] a GOP Senate majority is still in doubt, because Democrats have more cash than Republicans.
It is unfortunate that the architect fails to see that the thing holding back the GOP is not money, but its failure to connect with the working class even as the Democrats destroy it with poverty-boosting policies, responded one caustic Hill aide.

I finally saw that- the article keeps jumping up and down because of pop-ups. Thanks.
Can’t Rove raise some cash from those cross-over voters who put Thad Cochran over the top in MS?
They thought that they could just run a liberal/progressive Republican like Romney who pretended to be a conservative, but failed to be able to articulate conservative positions clearly and concisely.
There hasn't been a true conservative running for President since Reagan, and the Rockefeller wing of the party has put in overtime to ensure that is so.
They can't wait to replace conservatives with illegal aliens, and anyone else who wants to feed at the trough.
The state of corruption in our Government is such that the USA is going to H#ll in a hand basket. It's just going a bit faster with the Dems.
I have been voting for the lesser of two evils for a long time now, and our nation continues to go downhill in so many areas. Isn't that the definition of insanity - to continue doing the same thing and expecting better results?
Rove better hit up his buds on K Street and Wall Street cause this lil gal on Main Street ain't gonna donate squat for the RNC. If they run Romney again, than they are not just the stupid party, they are insane to boot.
Every poster on this thread should go up a few posts and read the article on Catalist—the powerful cybertool employed by the Dems to turn out their vote.
I mention that every time they call or write for a donation.
As you should
“They didn’t win in 2012, because they thought that Obamas failure was all they needed”
That’s exactly right. It’s the Tom Dewey strategy.
