Sounds about right. It might be too early to tell. But, IMO Rove has been a disaster for the GOP.
As for his reputed political genius on the national stage? Where does that myth come from?: In national elections, his record is basically 2-2; he batted .500 at best. And one of the loses was a blowout, in 2006.

ANDREW SULLIVAN: "Rove is one of the worst political strategists in recent times. He took a chance to realign the country and to unite it in a war - and threw it away in a binge of hate-filled niche campaigning, polarization and short-term expediency. His divisive politics and elevation of corrupt mediocrities to every branch of government has turned an entire generation off the conservative label. And rightly so. It will take another generation to recover from the toxins he has injected, with the president's eager approval, into the political culture and into the conservative soul."
