Don’t blame Rove for O’Donnell’s loss. Blame her. Rove, whether we all like it or not, has been right on the contests he raised questions about. I DO believe it is better for a Christine O’Donnell to lose than a Mike Castle win but I ALSO understand what Rove believes. And I don’t blame him. He’s right in the short term and wrong in the long term, IMO.
I don’t blame Rove for the loss. I blame Rove for what he did, trashing a Republican candidate.
An O’Donnell victory wouldn’t have erased the crime, but it would have made it largely moot. As it is, she lost, and Rove, not the Democrats, struck the first blow against her.
