Rove Misplaces Blame

Lucianne.com links to a Christian Science Monitor article quoting Karl Rove on why Romney lost. It is a nothing story; Rove essentially says Obama’s minions described Romney accurately and millions of white blue-collar voters stayed home, unwilling to vote for either man.

Blaming Obama won’t work. The fault was the GOP picking a patrician wealthy corporate raider as their candidate, one who looked like a shirt model. Expecting Joe and Jill Sixpack to find Romney a sympathetic likable guy was folly, he was too easy to tar (probably fairly) with the “he sent your jobs to China” label.
