After 2006, Rove needs to stay out of this election cycle IMHO. He has done enough damage to last the GOP a lifetime starting when he decided that any candidate not supporting the President on immigration should not be supported starting in 2004 and stiff arming National Committee people to get Martinez in as head of RNC.
Rove or his people are the last people you want involved in your campaign right now.
PAR FOR the course. Republicans will continue to live down to the level of what’s expected of them. Why get excited about one race in one state where u have to fight tooth and nail while in another state the local Republicans are busy giving away seats without a fight or thru brain farts? Think macacca, culture of corruption, and the nominating of AlanKeys to take on Obama.
"Romney has spent a lot of money advertising in NH which is right next door to MA — Rudy has only been in the state a limited number of times and McCain hasn’t been there that much this time. Ads are all over for Romney and he has been advertising there since early in the year."
"The people from GW’s campaign have split between the three leading campaigns — the Bush people in Romney’s campaign are mostly from Jeb Bush not GW and some of them have left because of conflicts. He offered six figured salaries to lure them in which is why his burn rate is so high. It was money not loyalty in some cases."
"Most of the major donors like T. Boone Pickens, Tom Ricks, and Donald Trump have all gone to Rudy along with a lot more. No way Mehlman or Rove would join that campaign right now. A poll from NH when Romney is way down in the latest polls in CA, WI, NH, NJ, CT which were taken after the debat does not make a winner. GW lost NH in 2000 and went on to win. I have seen the numbers from the big states voting on 5 Feb and Romney is way back in those polls. Only poll he is leading by a lot is UT who votes that day."
"Rudy just added Anne Dinsmore as the Deputy Fundraiser who is one of the most organized and best fundraisers in the Country. Here is a list of her clients:"

"Rudy is adding more daily of people from the Bush 2000 campaign"
