And don’t forget that Fox reported that Republicans were not going to support her either - a position the Republicans stated was in error the next day. That did not help.
Yep, Rove and Fox turned what should have been a very positive night for O’Donnell into some sort of bizarre, backstabbing revenge play just because a bunch of old party hacks didn’t get their way. They definitely damaged her chances. If the actual vote turns out to be close, the blame could be laid at their feet.
