Unfortunately, Karl Rove was right about O’Donnell. Oh well.

After observing in the neighboring state of PA, the six years of RNC backed Specter in the Senate, the Delaware primary voters sent a message to the GOP Elites. We do not want any more pseudo Republicans to represent us.

Not if you believe that we as Christians should vote for the most conservative, pro life, pro faith candidate and leave the rest to God.

The problem was not Rove’s opinion. It was his voicing it so bitterly and so publicly the night of her victory.

Despite my long-term loathing of John McCain, I managed to spend almost 5 months supporting his candidacy on Free Republic and other sites without once mentioning what a terrible candidate he was.

Why did I do that? Because even if McCain was doomed, talking him down would depress the vote, causing harm to GOP candidates down ticket.

Not that I am an influential pundit, but I try to follow the rules of intelligent political behavior, as taught by our old friend Common Tator. Rove did not, showing me he let his emotions rule. It was a bad mistake, and, as rodguy said, cost him a fair amount of support from people like me, who had been his staunch defenders.

FloridaSunrise : "Unfortunately, Karl Rove was right about O’Donnell. Oh well."

Rove's bullying and misogyny against Ms. O'Donnell
was inappropriate, Newbie. She won the primary.
Ergo, Rove was wrong.

“Unfortunately Karl Rove was right about O’Donnell”

In Pa, the word is that Toomey lost some strength due to OD’s low popularity in nearby Delaware?
