2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumRove on "elections called prematurely"
I've been away from the computer all day, so forgive me if someone's already brought this up. I thought it was extraordinary that when Rove had his on-air meltdown, his protests included something to the effect that we know what happens when elections are called prematurely--referring to what only could have been election night 2000. He was admitting to everyone that it was all a horrible mistake.
Did anyone else catch this?
