is karl rove's political career over? Is Karl Rove's Political Career Over? One of the biggest losers in Tuesday's election was Karl Rove, the Fox News commentator and Republican strategist, and the man that Democrats love to hate. His repeated predictions of victory for GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney were wrong, and he was off base again in his snarky election-night assessment on Fox that Romney would win Ohio (President Obama did). Today, amid a public spanking by some conservatives, Rove's luster has faded, and he is trying to recover his reputation as the premier Republican strategist in the country. On Fox News, where Rove is a paid commentator, Rove said Thursday morning that Romney had persuaded Americans that he was a better leader than Obama. "This thing was won." Rove said, but it slipped away for various reasons. Rove added in his Wall Street Journal column Thursday that the president was "lucky....Hurricane Sandy interrupted Mr. Romney's momentum and allowed Mr. Obama to look presidential and bipartisan." Rove also indicated that Obama's get-out-the vote campaign was much better than Romney's. Many remained upset by Rove, including GOP donors who opened their wallets for two political groups that Rove co-founded, American Crossroads/Crossroads GPS. The groups' spending of tens of millions of dollars is now being criticized for being ineffective. "They gave him millions of dollars and they have nothing to show for it," a prominent GOP strategist told me. "They're asking, 'Where did the money go?'" Richard Viguerie, a long-time conservative activist, issued a statement that "in any logical universe" Rove "would never be hired to run or consult on a national campaign again and no one would give a dime to [Rove's] ineffective super PACS, such as American Crossroads." There are ups and down in politics, and Rove is still a prominent voice in the GOP. But his reputation for brilliance as the conservative Svengali has taken a tumble and he is another casualty of Tuesday's election. Many Republicans had been sold on Rove as a brilliant strategist who not only led George W. Bush's two successful presidential campaigns but could also lead the GOP to better days this year and in the future. "He over-promised and under-delivered," says a former senior adviser to President Ronald Reagan. "He seems to have just become a spin artist." One of Rove's hallmarks was his success in the 2004 campaign by emphasizing the GOP base and bringing as many Republican voters as possible to the polls rather than expanding the universe of voters available to the GOP. This meant a heavy reliance on white voters, especially white men. But many are arguing that Rove's strategy has become outmoded because the electorate has changed. The percentage of white voters has declined steadily from 87 per cent in 1992 to 72 per cent today. Meanwhile, the percentage of African American and Hispanic voters has surged, and is voting Democratic, as are women and young people. www.usnews.com |

the simpsons By Claudine Zap | The Sideshow – 5 hrs ago Karl Rove has gotten the "Simpsons" treatment. After making news for not accepting the news that Barack Obama had been re-elected president on Tuesday, Rove got his comeuppance in the fictional town of Springfield. In the opening credits of the longtime Fox cartoon, bad-boy Bart Simpson writes on his school blackboard, as usual. This time the phrase reads, "I will not concede the election till Karl Rove gives me permission." The jab at Rove was in reference to the pundit's election night refusal to accept that Fox's decision desk had projected Obama the victor over Mitt Romney in the presidential election. After Fox News had called the state of Ohio—and the election—for Obama, the Republican strategist called the decision premature, even though most of the outstanding votes were from heavily Democratic Cuyahoga County. This led to a disagreement with the Fox host, Megyn Kelly, who walked out of the studio to interview the number crunchers for the network, who then confirmed their call for Obama. Kelly asked Rove, "Is this just math that you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better?" watch video here: videos.mediaite.com |
