Karl Rove responds to controversy over his speculation if Fmr. Gov. Sarah Palin will indeed enter the GOP field. Rove said chances are she will jump in, but was not definitive in his observation.
"I mystified," Rove said about his speculation. "Look, she is all upset about this saying how I am trying to sabatouge her in some way. How do I speculate on her future."
"Look, if she doesn't want to be speculated about a potential presidential candidate there is an easy way to end the speculation. Simply say 'I'm not running.' Instead, every time she pops up in the public eye like she did on CNN, at the Iowa State fair a short number of days ago. she said 'I haven't made a decision.'"
"I'm just speculating that more likely than not she is going to be a candidate."
"Now I said 'I wouldn't bet a lot of money on it' because it is such a close thing and I am not privy to her thought-making process. But it is sign of enormous thin-skin that if we speculate about her, she gets upset. And I suspect if we didn't speculate about her, she would be upset and getting ways to get us to speculate about her."

Rove jumped the gun and made himself look like the a$$ that he is.
I long for the day when Rove is caught in a motel room, alone with some poor helpless farm animal.
Rove sounds like an old lady with nothing better to talk about than other people.
Sarah nor did anyone of her staff ever mentioned Rove’s name in all of this!
No, that's not all Rove said.
Rove said "This (Sep 3) is her last chance".
Funny thing about Rove.
Even if he says something that I agree with, I still want to tell him to STFU!
God forbid if a RINO wins the nomination like Karl Rove would like to see but I have to agree with you, BuckeyeTexan...
Whoever wins: Perry or Palin (who has yet to even announce). Either one has my vote over CHANGE that we've been seeing these last 3 years.
We should not be throwing the baby (our political system) out with the bath water (the imperfect GOP Candidate).
“1. He is right; IMO Palin swings downward at all sorts of gutter trash, like Bill Maher, when it would be better to keep silent and above the fray.”
GWB and all the crap going down with the libs’ 24/7 media hate frenzy...bushitler, chimpy, the rise of the antiwar movement/lib control in DC, et all, is the direct result of him refusing to swing downward and call it for what it was. He himself recognized that mistake in his book.
Like it or not, a person in high places MUST defend themselves or be perceived as weak. A catch 22, but better to err on the side of self defense IMO.
He is the fat kid who is desperate to be liked by the IN clique (Left Wing DC Media elites) and he thinks smearing Palin will get him in. Palin and her children have been smeared and jeered in waterfall of non stop hate that would have put Tokyo Rove in a nut house two years ago. She has cool and calm.
“Rove said “This (Sep 3) is her last chance”. “
Considering the source, I’d say she has much, much longer. And since I value my credibility far more than his, I’m gonna go with me. Anyone wanna join me? ;)
Agree. This country cannot stand another 4 years of 0bama. Period.
Rove's just afraid she will announce so late that he wont have enough time to bash her so Romney can win.
What a jerk.

When the genPub finally sees what we see going on, it’s not gonna be a happy day at the GOP. At the rate of stupidity they are going, that day is not far away.
Rove was once a smart man. He has since achieved recto-cranial inversion and is worthless as anything but a RINO mouthpiece.
Not only was Bush's skin too thick to understand the un-ending Liberal lies, his head was too thick to understand the occasional common sense eminating from his Conservative base on illegal immigration & the border, spending, and PC rules of engagement endangering our troops.
Rove is the vilest (is that a word?!) of creatures. For years , I naively thought he was a conservative and smart. He sure had a lot of people fooled. He showed his true colors right there on live TV, going ballistic with his displeasure of Christine O’Donnell having won the DE primary fair and square. Over and over again, he kept up his verbal character assassination of her. What’s that “Rush” expression? Ah yes, “a worthless shred of human debris”!
The onslaught of disinformation against President Bush turned into urban legends that even rational people believed. The Mission Accomplished banner comes to mind, just like the Bush lied about WMD’s crap.
As I tell any Liberal that spouts the WMD crap, if President Bush knew there were no WMD’s in Iraq, we would have found them the first day of the War.
