And one of the main reasons she couldn't "pull it off" was that Karl Rove stuck his big foot out and tripped her up the day she won the primary.
That matters and deserves to be mentioned.
I agree with Palin supporting COD but really think she had a steep climb, Rove or no Rove.
I see Rove as the one who told Bush to support Spector over Toomey in 1994 something that really urked me. Rove just wants to win seats, he would support Hillary over COD if Hillary changed parties. His approach to this now (winning with a few RINOS) is very short-sighted.
