Well...Rove was right.
His point has always been that you cannot elect conservative candidates in left-wing states. A Senator is supposed to be a represenative of the people that elected him/her. That’s why Scott Brown might not be as far to the right as you thought or want...because Massachusetts is a liberal state.
Delaware is a liberal state. The only chance a Republican has in that state is if he/she is a moderate. That’s just simply a product of the population in question.
Rove did not predict it - he fought for it. And he expects you and I to shut up sit down and enjoy the establishment RINOS as they crawl to socialism and be happy they are not running towards it like the Dems.

Ah, the mushy moderates are coming out of the woodwork tonight!
Mark Kirk is a moderate/centrist running in a liberal state. He did WORSE than O’Donnell. I guess we’ll never know if a conservative can win a true Republican versus Democrat race in Delaware, since conservatives not only have to beat the Democrats and a hostile media (whose hatred increases in relation to one’s conservatism). Conservative also have to overcome the RINO naysayers, too.
