Rove: Christine O'Donnell's loss is 'a lesson'

On Fox, Megyn Kelly gives Karl Rove a chance to say “I told you so” over his Christine O’Donnell’s loss in Delaware, but Rove refuses to take the bait.

“It gave me no pleasure to say that she was unlikely to win,” he said. “But this again provides a lesson. This is a candidate who was right on the issues, but who had mishandled a series of questions brought up by the press.”

I'd go to her Twitter, but I'm just not that kind of boy.

give the same answer.

He can't wait to take her out.

She paid her rent and other expenses from campaign money. Lied about her education. Is over 40 having almost no real job experience. It was not a case of a few gaffes. Not to mention, she is the first Senate candidate I remember who needed to say that she was not a witch.

and running for office is not a career.

appearances on Maher show could have carried her through something like 17 years.

You can be totally corrupt and have ethical issues a mile wide and as deep as the Mariana Trench but if you say "lower taxes and cut spending" the Republican party will back you 100%

applies well to many of their ethics or morals challenged candidates.

My question will be how quickly DE will do a total investigation of the finances of her various campaigns. I am not a lawyer, but it sure seems an investigation is called for.

It just further advances O'Donnell's persecution complex and won't it be simply a fine (which her supporters would gladly pay as soon as Hannity or Rush makes the request)?

Besides, isn't she now a four time loser on the national election scene? I don't see her having any future role in politics and outside of Hannity I think Fox News would consider her too stupid to put on-air with any regularity.

Just my thought.

If everything alleged is true she has used money inappropriately in all of her campaigns. This is fraud and could lead to criminal charges. (Consider the John Edwards' case where he may face charges if it turns out that he really did pay to keep his mistress with campaign funds.) In her case, I don't know if embezzlement is the right word - but to be paying her rent in 2009, after losing in 2008 is clearly not kosher.

A republiker is expected to be no more honest than the corporation that owns you.

I've only lived here in Delaware for 10 years and this is the first time I campaigned in Delaware. Normally I'd be in Pennsylvania where there were more battles to be fought.

But one very common message I heard from so many voters whose doors I knocked on and whose phones I called.

They don't like this kind of nasty politics. Delawareans keep their elections clean and want the races battled over the issues and not nasty name calling. 2.5 years ago we had a tough battle for DE Governor in the primaries with Lt. Governor John Carney running against Treasurer Jack Markell. Never did you see a more clean race about the issues than these two running against each other. And yet tonight you could see the deep friendship these 2 had when Governor Markell introduced John Carney on stage as our next US Representative from Delaware. And both Carney and Coons had nothing but absolute praise for Mike Castle - you could feel it in the room as Castle's name was spoken.

We are a state of elections where we want to hear about the issues and ditch those silly campaign slogans and rhetoric. People didn't vote for O'Donnell for one main reason - they felt she had no message and didn't represent our state. And they didn't like what she did to Mike Castle. If only Mike Castle would have endorsed Christine O'Donnell, this might have been a much closer race. But he wouldn't because he knew that people like Christine O'Donnell should not be representing our state.

Teabaggers were SO DAMN SURE she'd win.

:puke:

"Party of Personal Responsibility" strikes again.

So it is the fault of the "press" that Christine was not ready for prime time, according to Karl.
