Let me state clearly, I'd love to dine with Karl Rove. He is an enormously talented and knowledgeable professional. That said, his bailiwick is campaigns not policy. His masterful manufacture of the "W" from Midland from a lost brat to a Texas Governor to a two-term President is incomparable. His knowledge of the microscopic aspects of the national electoral process is beyond compare (although some may now argue, a new gunslinger has appeared on the horizon, David Plouffe the under forty wunderkid that outflanked the manifestly destined Hilliary Clinton campaign), but I digress.
How is it that he's been omnipresent throughout the campaign season, yet I have never seen him asked about his claim of creating a durable Republican majority. This question is particularly salient given the fact that the northeast is bereft of Republican representation, moreover the Old Dominion voted Democratic in the presidential election and is lead by a Democratic governor and two Democratic senators. Add New Mexico, Nevada, and Colorado (will Florida, Montana and Arizona follow?) to the mix and the sorry state of the national republican party is evident. The fact that the question does not get asked cannot be a coincidence.
