"Rove should have nationalized the local elections by attempting to educate these fools."
I agree. The Democrats did a good job of nationalizing the elections. In a word--Iraq.
Rove should have nationalized the elections and pointed out the horrific consequences of a Democratic controlled Senate and Congress. Would it have made a difference in Congress? Maybe not, but it could have very well helped us keep control of the Senate.
I still say it was the MSM that won the election for the Democrats. With almost 80% of the news stories being negative against the Republicans and less than 20% against the Democrats, what do you expect?
