Got to take anything from Ronald Brownstein in a proper perspective. This guy is the RAT partisan hack disguised as journalist. Why believe anything from this presshole is beyond me. What a joke!!!
This guy reprints whatever the DNC or the Davis office in Sacremento tells him to. Who does he think he's kidding? Brownstain would have labelled Riordan a nazi anyway, if he has not started already.
This is typical Democrat columnist thinking - tying to construct a lose/lose for republicans, and find ways to talk about 'mistakes' so the GOP will line up the ol circular firing squad. He spent half the column postulating if Rove made some mistake. hell no. Rove wanted a viable candidate, recruited one, and a viable candidate won the primary. The GOP has a good candidate in Simon and he will do very well.
