KKKarl Rove is already coming up with excuses

Bonus Quote of the Day
"If you hadn't had the storm, there would have been more of a chance for the Romney campaign to talk about the deficit, the debt, the economy. There was a stutter in the campaign. When you have attention drawn away to somewhere else, to something else, it is not to his advantage."

-- Karl Rove, in an interview with the Washington Post.

A leader knows how to act during a time of crises. If Romney had an ounce of leadership in his bones he would not have been behind the 8 ball before Sandy hit. And he would have had a clue how to handle the situation when Sandy did hit.

Don't blame the storm for Romney faking a can goods drive.

"Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor - with the cry of grave national emergency."


Substitute "GOP" for "government" in the above quote and I think this about sums up Karl Rove
