I agree with ncdave4life. Whatever else Karl Rove may be, he knows how to win elections — even when the entire news media establishment is against him. We have to stop the infighting as a party. We need to reunite and reach consensus on how to go forward.

My suggestion is that we really, really need to reach out to women and Latinos. We don’t need to cave in on the issues that the news media establishment is defining as important issues (and acceptable political positions) for women and Latinos. But I do think we need to give an inch, or the left-wing fanatics are going to continue taking a mile in every election. Even more important, our candidates need to be a great deal more sensitive about these issues, and what they say about these issues. If we can become more sensitive, we don’t need to cave in on these issues.

Todd Akin is a perfect example. He was going to win that Senate election in Missouri, by a wide margin, and he’s a true conservative. Then he said something about abortion that was stupid and insensitive. And a Democratic incumbent who should have been politically dead was resuscitated, and re-elected. If he had chosen his words more carefully, he would have won as a true conservative.

Like McCain, Romney, and how he's going to float another big turd like Jeb or Christie. No thanks.

Funny how the RINOs are still attacking Akin, but have nothing but praise for a loser like Rove - see, he loses elections, that makes Rove a LOSER. Did I mention that Romney lost? Maybe you need to stop playing the race card and support CONSERVATIVES rather than attacking and driving them away and expecting somehow to win elections.

totally agrre Bryan. As a woman in the Latino community I can confirm the the Marxists have effectively painted a picture of conservatives immigrant hating, and anti women. Latinos are conservative, but the vitriol that seemed to come from certain elements in the party, was threatening and ugly. I know better, not everyone does. Many conservative Latinos were upset that Obama won, and that he was able to deliver messages of hope, trust, and love, with the skill of a con man. With the media against us, there is no room for vitriol.
