COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa — The biggest donors in the Republican Party are financing a new group to recruit seasoned candidates and protect Senate incumbents from challenges by far-right conservatives and Tea Party enthusiasts who Republican leaders worry could complicate the party’s efforts to win control of the Senate.
The group, the Conservative Victory Project, is intended to counter other organizations that have helped defeat establishment Republican candidates over the last two election cycles. It is the most robust attempt yet by Republicans to impose a new sense of discipline over the party, particularly in primary races.

I don't think much of Rove, but he is right here. Decimatevthe Tea Party before the Tea Baggers destroy s.
Agreed, although if the Tea Party destroys things for the Republicans it will, in effect, be a case of Rove having hanged himself with his own petard.
More top down control by establishment republicans trying to play God and do to the GOP what they accuse democrats of doing to the economy. Let freedom ring.
