You mean ‘the Architect’ ??

Hmmn.
Very near-loss in 2000.
Losses in 2002, 2004 - Particularly bad in the Senate!
Lost the Senate AND House in 2006.
Lost Senate, House, and Presidency in 2008.
Gained the House in 2010 - but despite the opposition of “mainstream” Repubbie leadership - including and most notably Rowe. Instrumental in losing several close Senate seats when conservative (non-GROPE!) newcomers won their primaries!
Lost the presidency to the single worst candidate’s record ever! in 2012. Lost more Senate seats!
Yeah - Right. Sure. Of course!
Does four “yes” votes mean a negative for Rowe’s conventional “wisdom” ??
