And people on this board are ready to string Karl Rove up because he’s not as excited as they are that we’ve just seen an almost guaranteed “R” flip to a likely “D”.Actually, Cook has switched it from a "leans Republican" to a "leans Democrat."
Rove is paid to be a magic consultant.
Follow the money.
If citizens can mobilize without a “leader” and fall in and support a candidate, what need is there for a highly paid consultant.
GWBush era staffers are looking to fill the staffer jobs of the house. Too many tea party winners means no jobs for the melmans of DC.
Rove needs to realize he is either paid to win or he is paid to win majorities. He is not paid to raise RINOs.
I think leans “D” and likely “D” are comparable descriptions, don’t you?
Look, if she wins, I prefer her over the democrat, in spite of the weirdness that seems to dog her. I’ll get some satisfaction out of seeing Castle gone, whether the seat is lost or not.
But a lot of the stuff I’m reading about Rove is just silly. As far as “histrionics” go, nothing he said is any worse than much of what I’m reading here.
I want conservative candidates, too. But, just in case you’re not clear on the concept, we’re also trying to INCREASE our numbers. I don’t know that essentially anathematizing Karl Rove (who probably supports about 90% of your positions) for raising some real obvious and well-know issues about a single candidate with some serious drawbacks, is really the way to accomplish that...
But, hey, thanks for playing...
