Deroy Murdock: "It's Time For Karl Rove To Retire"

Karl Rove

As you probably know, Karl Rove was tied to a super-PAC which spent around $400 million on behalf of Mitt Romney's campaign. On Election Night, his predictions were wrong. Mr. Murdock, a libertarian-conservative Republican blogger in New York, writes: "Reputed uber-genius Karl Rove reconfirmed that he is the most overrated living participant in American public life. As 'the architect' of profligate 'compassionate conservatism,' Rove helped smash the GOP's reputation for fiscal discipline. This still hurts Republicans. As Reuters' Tim Reid wrote: 'Early national exit polls revealed that about 50 percent of U.S. voters still blamed former Republican President George W. Bush for the country's economic problems rather than Obama.' The allegedly brilliant Rove foresaw 279 electoral votes for Romney. Oops! Rove should retire to a Texas ranch, where he can raise and sell actual bull."
