Karl Rove and Election 2012

50.4% to 48.1%. So the country is divided…but that divided? Matt Taibbi wrote in Rolling Stone not long ago, that today everyone has their own reality within which to exist and needn’t be disturbed by non-conforming pieces of information. The Right has Fox, the Left has MSNBC, and it is difficult to understand how they reflect the same acreage. Karl Rove didn’t predict the landslide that George Will did, but he left no doubt that Romney would be victorious. Continue reading →

At what point should a president realize that it just hasn’t worked out as he had planned; that he is going to be incapable of delivering what he told himself he wanted?

Hillary Clinton presents herself as our savior. Almost nothing could be further from the truth. Continue reading →
