I'm from CO...but Karl Rove is definitely fucking high.

Karl Rove: Obama ‘succeeded by suppressing the vote’

Karl Rove defended Republicans’ work this election cycle, arguing that President Obama only won by making neither candidate look palatable and that Mitt Romney, not outside groups, should have fought back harder.

The president’s campaign “succeeded by suppressing the vote,” Rove told Fox News. “They effectively denigrated Mitt Romney’s character, business acumen, experience.”

Especially Rove


Their feeble attempt at sanctimony is rather humorous.

Subtle "I think 'suppression' is when people tell the truth about my candidate...as opposed to making it uber difficult for people to...you know...vote" statement.

If the other team is doing something right, claim it as your own, brag about being the cause of it, give the other team no credit at all.

If your team is screwing up, claim the other team is doing this screwup, disown it, blame the other team.

So, yes, in a Rovian world, the Democrats succeeded by suppressing the vote.

I don't think the folks that gave him $400 million will buy this lame ass excuse.
