Karl Rove: The Herman Cain Boomlet Is Over (Says his Gaffes are Deadly)
Business Insider ^ | 10/24/2011 | Zeke Miller

Posted on 10/24/2011 7:44:07 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

GOP strategist and former Bush advisor Karl Rove laid out all the reasons why he believes Herman Cain's presidential campaign is finished.

In an interview with Fox Business, Rove listed several of Cain's recent gaffes — and policy positions that are out of line with many GOP voters — to show why the Cain boomlet won't continue.

"I think it has created an image of him as not being up to this task," he said. "That’s really deadly."

Despite the missteps, Cain's fundraising topped his third quarter numbers in just three weeks — with the campaign raising over $3 million since October 1.

Herman Cain is SO FAR out of the GOP ‘Establishment’ loop that I like him more and more.

I believe anything Tokyo Rove says because he's Tokyo Rove.

Wishful thinking, Mr. Porky Pig. You keep telling yourself that, dude.

This from the genius who thought the way to “form a permanent Republican majority” was to run the White House communications in the spirit of “the new tone” and to capitulate to groups here and there with no coherent philosophy of limited government.

I’ll take a coherent limited government guy with a few gaffes over a BS new tone strategist any day!

I assume he’s talking about “O”

Give it another month or so to see if Rove’s wrong.

Karl has to destroy Cain. Karl's not getting paid by Cain - now or ever.

I'm still waiting for one of these show hosts to ask, "Karl, you're a professional political consultant, right?"

"So, who involved in the 2010 election cycle is paying you now?"

Regards,

TS

There are some secular atheists within the GOP “establishment” that really don’t want to lose their foothold or positions of power.
These people need to be shown the door, and true conservatives who have a worldview based on truth need to be doing the “showing”.

If RINO Rove doesn’t like Cain, then that’s good enough for me......I’m going to support Cain.

I am still waiting for Karl to pull out his whiteboard and write down the numerous flip flops and Romney gaffes.

Like saying “there are many reasons to not vote for me...”

That would be Romney telling the truth for once. LOL

We know Rove is a Romney supporter. He can’t even be objective these days...it comes thru loud and clear.

Rove needs to get a life....he plays too much at his board. If Cain ‘is over’ it’s up to the people to say that, not an inside the beltway talking big head

I think Cain's name should be replaced with ROMNEY about gaffes and policy positions out of line with GOP voters!

Rove is dead to me. I can’t stand this loser. He single handedly destroyed the party.
