Karl Rove Ruined the GOP

Well, Karl Rove has left the White House and of course people are talking about it.

I found one really interesting article written by James Carville.

From the article:

The March poll from the Pew Research Center showed that 50 per cent of Americans identify as Democrats while only 35 per cent say they are Republican. The June NBC-Wall Street Journal poll showed 52 per cent of Americans would prefer a Democratic president while only 31 per cent would support a Republican, the largest gap in the 20-year history of the survey.

What is fascinating is that Carville claims that "Rove appealed to the base of the Republican Party."

Well, that is the conventional wisdom but of course it isn't true. The reason why young people don't want to become Republicans is because the party IGNORES the base and is led around on a leash by corporate America.
