"The billionaire donors I hear are livid ... There is some holy hell to pay. Karl Rove has a lot of explaining to do ... I don't know how you tell your donors that we spent $390 million and got nothing."
That's exactly what I was thinking on Election Night. The donors don't mind him being unscrupulous. But when you're unscrupulous and can't deliver with an endless amount of cash, then your head goes on the chopping block.
The Republicans lost 9 of the 10 Senate races where Rove's Crossroads organizations pumped in the most money. It's apparently not as easy to buy an election as it used to be.
