It’s just a pet peeve of mine, sorry . . . the guy is paid to get his boss elected. Too simple for some to understand, I suppose.
If anyone takes the time to read Rove’s book Courage and Consequence, they could dispel some of their wrong thinking about him. His vocation is going to work for a candidate, playing up his strengths and courting votes. Rove has a great analytical mind, imo. That doesn’t mean he is infallible as in his “reaction” to O’Donnell’s win.
