Several Tea Party candidates and supporters were very abrasive towards Mexican-Americans / Latinos and women.  President Obama won strong support from women and the Mexican-Americans.

That said, Karl Rove should not have supported Mr. Mitt Romney since Romney embraced self-deporatation ideas that does not help our economy.

In 2004, I predicted internal strife within the GOP would occur in light of the Dixiecrats who have thoroughly hijacked the Republican Party.  Now is the time for Karl Rove to re-invent himself and we will be watching to see if he will be strong enough to push back.  Will the moderates win?  Or, will the Dixie-GOP win?
