Donations to political strategist Karl Rove’s Crossroads groups decreased by 98 percent last year, declining to a combined total of $6.1 million, down from $325 million in 2012. This, despite the fact that Rove added a third group in 2013.

Politico reported, “Rove added a third group to the network in 2013, forming the Conservative Victory Project to counterbalance the influence of Tea Party and conservative grassroots forces in GOP primaries.”

Rove also co-founded and serves as an adviser to American Crossroads, and is the principle advisor of Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies, also known as Crossroads GPS.

A report from Breitbart News noted: “Rove’s organization has been so tarnished among the conservative base that candidates fear donors will not contribute to any group associated with him.”

Rove, Rove, Rove paddles his PAC,
Gently down the stream,
Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily
It finally loses steam.

Karl Rove is a NAZI. Glad I'm not the only one to see it.

Only those with brains made out of mutton give Rove money.

Donations to political strategist Karl Rove’s Crossroads groups decreased by 98 percent last year, declining to a combined total of $6.1 million, down from $325 million in 2012.

2012 was an election year, but 2013 was not. That makes a big difference.

How active was Crossroads in seeking contributions in 2013 relative to 2012?
What is the normal decline in contributions to such groups in an "off year?"

Without the answers to these questions, no conclusions can be drawn here.
