Karl Rove Supports Christine O’Donnell, Kind Of

Posted on Sep 16, 2010

Perhaps angling to put a lid on any talk about right-wing rifts, GOP schemer Karl Rove took to the Fox News airwaves Thursday to demonstrate that he’s not trying to slow down the tea party express, at least when it comes to Delaware congressional hopeful Christine O’Donnell.

Rove qualified his previous comments by pointing out that O’Donnell has some catching up to do in the polls, but he insisted that he supports every Republican candidate in this fall’s race, and specifically, he’s sending some funds O’Donnell’s way. That said, he characterized his role as a Fox News analyst differently from his backstage GOP-boosting efforts: “My job is not to be a cheerleader for every Republican—it’s to call ’em as I see ’em,” he said on the air.  —KA

New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.
