"Mitt Romney had what I scientifically call a butt-ugly primary,'' Rove said.

During his lecture, Rove said there were five critical periods in the campaign.

The first was the expensive and long Republican primary season with "way too many debates'' -- focused too much on social issues and not enough on the economy. "Mitt Romney had what I scientifically call a butt-ugly primary,'' Rove said.

It's pretty ugly but compared to the Republican Primary it's a thing of beauty

If the Republicans were smart, they'd have left him in their dust and worked at restoring their party. It's going to be a long road back and, unless they are planning on Rove pushing all the way, it's going to take a long, long time.

And since you would never give a straight answer, the real answer is because you created the tea party 3 years ago. It's yours and you own it, Karl.

and spend all that money backing Der Newt in the primaries? Face it Karl - you were the pivot-man on one of the most incestuous circle-jerks in political history.

Own it.
