The point is that Rove’s attacks would seem to have an effect. You took the position that they didn’t. Post 42.
I still take the position that they didn't.
The previous poster took the tack that O'Donnell did the same as all Republicans in Delaware. You're saying Rove had a decisive impact on a 17-point loss.
Which is it--is O'Donnell such an incredible candidate that she could have won in liberal Delaware, but Karl Rove's disdain meant she was swept aside by 17 points, or did she have no hope of winning in Delaware?
Either way, how does that make her a viable candidate?
