Karl Rove told a British newspaper Wednesday that he has serious doubts about Sarah Palin's viability as a presidential candidate.
The former senior adviser to George W. Bush told The Daily Telegraph of London that he questioned whether Americans thought the former Alaska governor had the "gravitas" for the "most demanding job in the world."
It was a stronger stand than Rove took earlier in the week in addressing Palin's prospects for 2012.
Ouch. Oh, it gets worse.
"With all due candor, appearing on your own reality show on the Discovery Channel, I am not certain how that fits in the American calculus of 'that helps me see you in the Oval Office,'" Rove told the Telegraph, which said he remains a considerable force on the U.S. political scene.
Rove cited the promotional clip for "Sarah Palin's Alaska," saying it could be especially detrimental to any political campaign as it features the mother of five in the great outdoors saying "I would rather be doing this than in some stuffy old political office," the Telegraph reported.
Folks, if Karl Rove, the man who wants the GOP to win and have a permanent chokehold on our country, is trying to sink Sarah Palin two years before the election, he knows she has no real chance to beat Obama.
No matter happens Tuesday, the road to 2012 is going to be brutal, ugly, and devastating. If anything, America seeing how the Tea Party reacts with just a taste of power may be the impetus for stopping them cold in 2012.
I worry that it's not going to be brutal, ugly, and devastating enough. I worry that it's going to be like the primaries in Nevada or Kentucky this year -- hotly contested and with an insane person emerging as the nominee, and yet the insane person goes on to win the general.
ReplyDeleteIt's possible, but let's face it: if the GOP claims the House, for 95% of America the economy will not improve at all and most likely get much worse.
