Rove Attack, NRSC Refusal, Will Aid O'Donnell
American Spectator ^ | 9-14-10 | Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 09/15/2010 12:08:33 AM PDT by STARWISE

It was an amazing bit of television. Almost instant(ly) followed by an amazing bit of scoop.

*snip*

The normally rational and analytical Mr. Rove had vanished. In his place was someone who looked like Karl Rove, sounded like Karl Rove…but spoke like the last guy out of the hoped-for-victory-party of the landslide losing candidate for Register of Deeds in NoPlaceville, Texas.

What on earth was Rove thinking? He was bitter, angry, cutting, demeaning, mean-spirited…and those were the nice things he had to say about O'Donnell.

“What’s is his goal ?”

To make as much money consulting for the GOP establishment candidate as possible. Cheer leading for the tea party isn’t as profitable.

How this guy became "The Architect" of the Republican Party is one of the great mysteries of the last century.

Salesmanship. Sometimes superior salesmanship promotes good products. Sometimes, not so good.

I agree with you analysis. He has never been a conservative and never will. How many in-depth articles has he ever written about conservative theory? Everything he writes or says is about the process and how to win an election.

He ain't one of us.

No, there is no 'transition' from Biden to Castle. We don't have time, nor will it work.

Of course it will work. Castle would take that seat in a walk. O'Donnell? As for time, do we have time to lose it?

And she stands for conservative values, and no one who has lived in the real world is going to be laughing at her.

Well, of course they are--people we can't stand live in the real world, whether we like it or not.

Castle is an old coot who whined about "moderate voices" in his concession speech, but just because I dislike him doesn't alter reality. And the reality is he was a shoe-in for a R pick-up of a D state, while even her big fans wouldn't claim she's a shoe-in--we're talking Castle having a 95% chance, O'Donnell a 17% chance.

I don't usually vote for such folks, but if we lose taking control of the senate by this seat, are we going to be hearing "Well, we didn't have time" stuff?

Last night after Rove I tried to get in to donate, the website must have been hit hard because it was down.

So I just gave this am.

The heck with the NRSC and their millions. If the people want her, they will support her.

Rush was pushing hard for O’Donnell yesterday.

After that, I knew Christine would win.

Yes, yes. Clearly Rove’s Rant was all part of a carefully thought out strategy to boost O’Donnell. Rove, you marvelous bastard!

If you like O’Donnell, a recommendation: Don’t look for her appearances on “Politically (In)Correct” on Youtube.

Oy.

I don’t get it, she beats the “shoe-in” candidate and she’s unelectable?

The PTB will never get it. They're better than us; just ask them. I'm wondering if there aren't even some democrats who will vote for gridlock in November, and the more "country club" the establishment gets, the more the Christine O'Donnell's will get votes. Nobody likes to be told who they should and should not think is crazy.

Castle = RINO
Rove = closet RINO
NRSC = RINO backer

Getting the ‘RINO’ message here?
Remove them all. /s =.=

N.R.S.C. and the R.N.C. can both go to hell.
And I’m a lifelong Republican.
And these dumbasses expect ME to support their elitist b.s.?
F-em.

Seeing Karl Rove diss Christine on Sean Hannity ticked me off so much, I went to Christine’s website and sent her $25.00. She is exactly what we need to send to Washington to represent the people’s interest.

GO CHRISTINE—GO CHRISTINE—GO CHRISTINE—GO CHRISTINE—GO CHRISTINE—GO CHRISTINE

He's rational enought to know he's witnessing the destruction of the Republican Party he helped to establish......one that was devoid of conservatives.

Dana perrino also was bashing O’Donnell. They won’t know what hit them in November. Anna Little is going to beat pallone in NJ too. Just watch.

If he isn’t being sincere, and is pulling a stunt, it may be something like “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The enemy = Christine
my enemy = Karl Rove
my = Dems, Indys who don’t like Karl Rove, who might like Hillary Clinton, basically voters in Delaware.

No calculating by Rove. He ain’t as smart as you give him credit for. He just showed who he really is: a self serving RINO more interested in protecting the established power base than he is his own country. He tried to blow her out of the water last night. We need to bury him. Hannity- stop giving him face time. He is a traitor to his country.

Rove is a bigtime RINO who supports open borders, amnesty and is very pro-La Raza. He is the embodiment of the liberal GOP who is our enemy!

Exactly. She wasn't as overt but just as pissy.

IMO Rove greatly damaged himself last night. For What... Mike Castle? Dumb move.
