Rove: Palin's resignation lacks clear strategy
CNN - Political Ticker ^ | 2009-07-05

(CNN) — The "architect" of George W. Bush's successful presidential campaigns has questions about Sarah Palin's resignation as governor.

"It's a risky strategy," Republican campaign mastermind Karl Rove told "Fox News Sunday."

Palin's unexpected announcement Friday that she will step down with 18 months left in her first term has left many in her party "a little perplexed," said Rove, whom Bush dubbed "The Architect" for managing his two victorious campaigns in 2000 and 2004.

We all have seen Rove’s brilliant strategy when Bush was sitting like a duck when everyone was taking shots at him.

BTW funny that CNN now calls Bush “succesful” and praises Rove. I thought the election was stolen and Rove was an evil monster.

Hypocrites, all of them.

Hey Karl, your strategy worked out real well for your former boss, didn’t it? Genius.

Rove can shove it where the sun doesn’t shine!

Rove help elect McCain-Feingold, and Medicare Drugs. He help elect Ted Kennedy to write the Education bill. He helped the Dem win 2008 in a landslide!
Thanks Karl, and now you can crawl back under your rock and die!

Rove and other experts see Palin’s moves as unconventional...it does not conform to their worldview of politics.

What they don’t understand is that this is why so many people love Palin......she is not a conventional politician.

The Jorge/Rove strategy of amnesty for 30-40 million illegals was the last straw for me for both of these elitist/socialists.

Perhaps she is letting God run her life? She doesn’t live in TX or have a last name of Bush. She doesn’t care what the pundiots think.

Pray for America and Saracuda

Roger that. I would rather have no strategy than his that gave the house, Senate and Presidency to the far left. Yo Karl, take a pill and go away you have done enough damage.

I would live the irony of a Madam President Palin. Oberman’s head would explode every time he had the say her name.

Why does it HAVE to be a strategy? Is it not possible that she just wants to lead America away from the disaster Obama is intent upon?

Maybe she wants what’s best for her children and grandchildren....and the way to do that might be through a non-political, non-office holding approach.

Did Washington and Jefferson have strategies? Or did they just want to insure freedom?

I don’t know about the rest of you, but when I want an opinion on anything, the first person I turn to is Open Borders Karl.

Karl is a loser. He refused to fight back against Soros and ACORN and look where we are now. Go away Karl, you have no credibility.

That does it. I am now convinced Palin has pulled a brilliant move.
