Herman Cain Accuses Karl Rove Of Trying To Destroy Him – Karl Rove is a pure bred establishment republican.  This is beyond a doubt.   But what is really at the core of the establishment supporting Mitt Romney?   I would be interested in your thoughts on WHY they are so committed to Romney?

(Politico)  Herman Cain pushed back hard at Karl Rove’s recitation of his recent campaign fumbles and miscues — which he presented on a  whiteboard on Fox News this morning — and accused  the operative of trying to do him intentional damage in a Byron York  interview:

“It’s a good thing the voters are not looking at Karl Rove’s little  whiteboard,” Cain said in a phone conversation from a stop in Chicago Monday  afternoon. “I believe it is a deliberate attempt to damage me because I am not,  quote unquote, the establishment choice. But why not go with the choice that the  people seem to like?”
Cain accused Rove of bias in favor of candidates with big organizations, lots  of money, and prior experience in political office — all things Cain doesn’t  have. “What has Karl Rove done?” Cain continued. “If I become the nominee, he  has given Democrats talking points for a commercial to attack me. It makes no  sense unless it’s a deliberate attempt on his part to try to push me down so  that the candidate he wants rises to the top.”

When asked which candidate he believes Rove supports, Cain  said, “I believe he wants Romney to get it.”

Rove strongly denies Cain’s charges. “Herman Cain is the one giving the  Democrats material for attack ads,” Rove said in a phone conversation Monday  afternoon. “I want the strongest nominee to emerge from the process. I have no  personal favorite. Fox expects me to call balls and strikes as I see them.”

Here’s what Rove said about Cain on Fox earlier Monday:  (Video in at Site)
