What Rove Hath Wrought

The durable minority status for the GOP will be his legacy. The partisan i.d. gap is now at its biggest in history. And this result Saturday night - when a Republican seat for thirty years was lost in Louisiana - may be a harbinger of the coming collapse.

One question: why does anyone still take one of the worst political strategists seriously?

He is responsible for a historic trashing of his own party. He has managed the least popular president in polling history; he has presided over the loss of both houses of Congress for his party; he has turned an entire generation off the conservative brand and message ... and yet he is still a "genius." Is the MSM unable to relinquish a narrative when it is utterly disproved by reality? I thought that was the Republican leadership's specialty.
