Huh. I think you need to be more of an election nerd than I am to understand why that qualifies as a "meltdown." I was expecting something quite different from that description. He was in full denial mode, sure, but from what people were saying I was expecting, I dunno, swearing, throwing things, whatever.

Having actually watched the video, I think the most striking thing about it is the way Megyn Kelly pushed back at Rove, walking back to the roomful of analysts with the camera following her. You don't normally see that kind of thing on Fox News; usually they're on message 100%.

I'm wondering exactly what happened there. Fox was inclined to be a bunch of Romney dead-enders, but there was evidently a limit to how far they were willing to go, and when Rove decided to go further it was time to cut him off.

Huh. Maybe I saw the wrong video somehow, or mistakenly thought I had finished it when I hadn't? There was no woman in the video I saw, and the two men stayed in the same place the whole time. And now I can't get the link to load, so I can't check my memory. (This must on the whole be one of my more pointless comments ever, but what the hey.)
