On “Fox News Sunday,” Karl Rove responded to Sarah Palin’s declaration at CPAC that Republican consultants who “keep losing elections” need to either “buck up” and run for office or “stay in the truck.”

Rove said that as a “balding white guy” he wouldn’t be a particularly good candidate for office. But “if I did run for office and win, I’d serve out my term,” he said. “I wouldn’t leave office mid-term.”

Palin stepped down as Alaska governor after half a term.
