Rove is the GOP’s version of Hillary Clinton. He’s there, he is still pulling strings, and he is not to be underestimated. A lot of democrats don’t like Hillary and what she does and a lot of republicans don’t like Rove and what he does. But that does not change the reality that they are out there, doing their respective ‘works’.
Rove is a political consultant, like Dick Morris, like Carville, and like Matilin. When they said that a political consultant was caught with a prostitute, I thought it was a redundency. There isn’t a single political conviction among them, save one: “I can make a lot of money fooling the people.”
