Rove is glad that the Republicans are winning big tonight. That’s all it is.

I find it absurd for some to get incensed because Rove did what he is hired to do: tell the truth. Political analysis is just that — opinion based on facts, not a personal slam of the candidate. I would lose confidence in a political commentator who tried to tickle my ears rather than tell it straight.

That’s all Rove did to O’Donnell. He pointed out that she was a weak candidate, and she was. She lost big tonight.

That state had no good choices. Too bad, because it would have been a prize pick up.

Sarah Palin mentioned on FOX that exit polling in Delaware showed that Castle would have lost the Senate seat to Coons.

For whatever reason, the voters in Delaware prefer the Bearded Marxist over O’Donnell or Castle.

There is something bigger going on with this reaction you see. I hate Rove but this whining on a great night is silly.

COD had one hell of an uphill battle with this race, a longshot, and it turns out she couldn't pull it off. They need to move on. Sharon Angle did one hell of a job turning her campaign around to take the fight right to Reid, let's cross our fingers on that race, that trophy win would make it Christmas.

Jedidah: “That’s all Rove did to O’Donnell. He pointed out that she was a weak candidate, and she was.”

NO HE DID NOT. He listed a litany of her “faults” in the worst possible light (several times) and totally disregarded mitigating evidence. He didn’t just say she was a weak candidate. He gave her opponent’s talking points, and in point of fact, some of the things he listed were false.

You know, I really despise McCain, but look through my posts here and you will NOT see me bashing him after he won the nomination. He was our nominee. As much as I dislike him, YOU DO NOT TEAR DOWN YOUR OWN TEAM. That’s what Rove did. He’s despicable!

Rove took me down big time when he made the comment about O'Donnell. I really wish he had only said she will have a very tough time of it and left it at that. To say she could ruin the chances of republicans retaking the senate was really uncalled for at that time because it set her up so terribly.

But he DID speak what he thought based on his hard liner facts and he was doing his job. Perhaps he has been asked by FOX not to show bias but to speak only to what he knows based on the facts he has on hand.

He is smart. And he was a tremendous help to President Bush. The LEFT HATED HIM. HATED. HATED. HATED.

I believe he did his job. I just wish he had curtailed it a bit.

We should try corresponding with him. Perhaps he will hear our opinions. We NEED Karl Rove to help us in our drive to force our elected officials to work within the bounds of our constitution.

Linda McMahon was an establishment candidate in CT. She Lost.
Kirk was a RINO candidate in IL. He may lose. Does that also mean they were poor candidates? No, it means no party wins EVERY Race. I’m sad that both lost. (Delaware and CT).

This election was a great start.
