Until very recently Karl Rove was to most Democrats the Great Satan, the political mastermind of two outrageously stunning Republican presidential victories by a Texas goofball governor and, before that, the unfortunate upset ousting of a popular Democratic governor named Ann Richards, as well as the overall rejuvenation of the Lone Star state GOP in statewide offices.
...In recent months one of the worst things Sen. Hillary Clinton could say about her opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, was that he was taking moves out of the "Karl Rove playbook." Can you imagine?! "Shame on you, Barack Obama!" she said. Which, if you stop to think about it, means Obama was successful.
...Today, Clinton began citing Rove as the ultimate expert on who was the strongest Democratic candidate in the Nov. 4 general. And we've got the exclusive maps below to prove it, all four confidential pages.
...as TV analyst Rove has become famous for his colored U.S. maps. He's long been renowned among co-workers for mining details and all sorts of fascinating tidbits from material that others missed.
His latest maps show Clinton leading the presumptive Republican nominee by more than 50 electoral votes in a hypothetical match-up based on current polls. And another Rove map shows Obama trailing McCain slightly.
...So Rove, the Republican Svengali of modern American politics, is really saying that Clinton is stronger because he wants Democrats to pick her because he secretly knows that she really isn't stronger and that will backfire and actually help the GOP's McCain.
Or, no, wait. Maybe Rove is really saying Clinton is stronger now because he knows Democrats won't believe him so then they'll do the opposite and choose Obama, which is really what Rove wants because he knows McCain is stronger against the freshman senator.

CHAOS
it just keeps getting better...
:^)
That magnificent bastard !
Sad that Obama has the same margin in Pennsylvania as he does in California.
Hillary’s “Mother of Convenience” moment.
Rove shows North Dakota as a toss up between McCain and Obama.
I find that very unlikely (as a resident of the state for 40 years and delegate to a couple of state Republican conventions). 55-45 McCain, maybe 60-40 McCain.
I remember Bubba saying: “If we can get rid of Rove, we can get the Whitehouse back.” And what happened: “The Plame Affair”...and some jerk named Fitzgerald who had sand in his eyes.
