Remember, this is the guy who sincerely thought the Republicans would keep control of Congress in 2006 (Politico):

"Rove is pushing Romney so aggressively some folks are beginning to wonder what's going on," grumbled one veteran Republican strategist.

From his perch on Fox, Rove has touted McCain's fierce primary rival as strong vice presidential material.

"Romney is already vetted by the media, has strong executive experience both in business and in government, has an interesting story to tell with saving the U.S. Olympics, and also helps McCain deal with the economy, because he can speak to the economy with a fluency that McCain doesn't have," Rove said on "Fox News Sunday" in June.

But conservative evangelicals hate the Mittster. Has Rove decided the Religious Right doesn't matter anymore?

It means they are desparate.

Going with Romney expecting him to help carry Michigan is a "Hail Mary" pass.

It's great to see the Republicans fighting each other for a change. I knew Romney was bad news. All of the radical right wingers love him. I'll never be able to understand why somebody from Utah couldn't "save the Olympics." This smells!
