Rove bows to Rush (over O'Donnell)
Rove Backs Off O’Donnell Criticism After Limbaugh Declares He’s ‘In Charge’ Of Saying Who’s Electable

http://thinkprogress.org/2010/09/16/rove-limbaugh-odonnell/


Karl Rove — who recently guest-hosted Limbaugh’s radio show — appears to be the latest GOPer to bow down before Rush. Rove has taken considerable heat from the right for attacking Delaware’s newly-minted GOP U.S. Senate candidate and Tea Party favorite Christine O’Donnell, saying she’s a bad candidate who has “serious character problems.” Yesterday, Limbaugh joined in:

“This is about conservatives taking back the Republican Party. … Who the hell are they, anyway, to anoint or disanoint somebody as electable or not electable?” Rush Limbaugh asked Wednesday. “I’m in charge of that! … That’s always been my purview and nothing’s changed.” <...>

“Look at the petulant attitude. ‘Screw you – Christine O’Donnell wins, she’s on her own. You’re on your own,’” Limbaugh said. <...>

“We’re going to throw in the towel here?” Limbaugh rhetorically asked his close ally, who spent a day filling in on his program this summer. “Why not fight for it?”

Rove, who just last night criticized O’Donnell for her tax troubles, today tried to paint himself as an O’Donnell supporter. First, Rove bemoaned being called an “establishment Republican,” pleading, “I’m a huge Tea Party fan!” He then reversed course on O’Donnell. “She’s got a shot to win!” Rove said, claiming that he “endorsed her the other night.” Watch it:

5. I thought Rove had all those millions and millions to annoit

6. David Frum dared speak what we all know --"we're discovering we work for Fox."
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/25/david-frum-aei-split-cons_n_513544.html

Les Aspin's "perception is reality" is no longer a tool to be used but it in fact their main strategy.

It is all about spin and shaping the story. They have nothing else. 8 years of "empty spectacle" in the Bush Administration (Rove) was a, they thought, a great success. They didn't see that doing landscaping does nothing to keep the foundation secure.
