On FOX, Charles Krauthammer just basically said that Romney failed because he wasn’t conservative enough. Yep, keep thinkiing that way and deny yourselves the presidency for the next cycle as well. And the Fox news decision desk anchors just totally dissed Rove on the air. Now that’s entertainment. ---
