I may have to tape a huge piece of cardboard over Rove's face during his appearance. I may want to hear what he says but I dam sure don't want to see his arrogant head after the damage he has done to our side this election cycle.

Rove had already lost half of FR before Christine O'Donnell and after her he lost the other half.

My Rove theory, for what it’s worth.

George Bush is a very humble man. He fails to realize that he has a magnetic personality and is therefore an exceptional candidate. When he won in the governor’s race, he attributed it to Rove’s wonky theories and demographics counting. So he signed him on for the presidential race, which of course, he won twice.

I think the Delaware race was the first race that Rove was advising on without any back-up from bush as a candidate. I think without that charismatic candidate, he isn’t really that much of a genius.

He backed the moderate in delaware, using his charts and such. And he was wrong. You could see the desperation, when he called in Dad Bush for an endorsement. (Do you EVER remember Dad Bush endorsing someone in a primary? I don’t.)

Castle was to be Rove’s debut on his own, and he flopped. That is why he is so bitter. So let’s just ignore any outburst he has today and realize it is his effort to prove that he still knows politics. We do not need to kick him when he’s down.

Unfortunately, Karl Rove is the spokesman for the Republicans on that show. It's kind of like having the #5 starter's turn on the rotation, or maybe the older middle-reliever who is making a start; you hope he does well enough to keep your team in the game, but not well enough that he gets invited back to spring training next season.

If Rove does fall into the ODonnell trap, he runs the risk of not being the "Architect" anymore. It's not like NPR is going to invite him to replace Juan Williams, and if he loses the Fox gig, he's got noplace to go.

P.J. O’Rourke has an excellent column today dealing with the subject of sticking with our side no matter what because the other side is evil.

Well, he can sue me if I misinterpreted him, but that’s basically what it came down to, with much cleverness and humor, of course.
