If she blames others, and allows her supporters to blame others, then she’s telling us all we need to know about her.

I hope next election, the Tea Party Express and Tea Partiers vet their candidates better and use some common sense concerning the state they are competing in....instead of blaming Karl Rove and RINOs when they blow it.

If Rahm/Axelrod/Obama could have controlled the primary and chosen Coons-vs-Castle or Coons-vs-COD, which one would they choose?

And if KARL ROVE, second only to the Koch and Bush moniker, had come out in huge support for her, how exactly would that have helped win over a state which is 2/3 registered Democrats?

instead of blaming Karl Rove

I think there are at least two issues being discussed here.

1. He caused O'Donnell to lose. Probably not, AFAIC.

2. Rather than suck it up and take a loss stoically he decided to diss the candidate, IOW, doing the democrat's work for them. He did do that AFAIC.

Because of #2, I wouldn't consider him a person I'd want on my side. Knowledge is good, but wisdom, i.e. knowing when to STFU, is a prerequisite for using the knowledge effectively.

I think the worst thing to happen to the Tea Party is the Tea Party Express.
