A pre-emptive strike late last summer by several pro-GOP groups set the tone of the 2010 election by tying Democrats to the failed Obama policies. Democrats never recovered from the attack and got shellacked in Nov.

Wonder if this is a variation on the same game plan.

Don’t you mean anti-Palin fund? This is Rove we’re talking about here.

"Next week's buy suggests a healthy portion
of that money will be spent on attacking Obama.
"

Tokyo Rove will spend the rest for Backstabber Romney
and the RomneyCARE/Sharia Wing of the GOP beginning
with their vicious attacks on Gov. Palin and conservative women.

This is NOT good news. He’s going to turn this on Palin and push Romney. Just you wait.

Interesting to see what he actually does.

I don’t trust Karl Rove at this point any further than I could kick him.

He is welcome to attack Obama. Or to blame the pre-Obama economic slump on Reid and Pelosi. If he starts using it to attack Sarah Palin, that’s another matter entirely.

We’ll see.

Karl Rove is a man of two faces. He appears on the outside to be a conservative Republican, but follow his actions, and some of his words, and at the end of the trail you find Rove to be a middle-of-the-roader, (like a dead skunk), who is eager to give way too much to the liberals to get something in return. He has said that’s how politics works; seemingly unaware that today’s politics and dire situation for America’s future are not the things he’s been accustomed to all his two-faced life. And he didn’t do “W” much good in the way of political advice and in obtaining a decent legacy for Bush. I put Rove in the same two-faced heap as Charles Krauthammer, Mitt Romney, Chris Christi and a host of other RINOS and conservative pretenders.

The ball is sitting directly in front of the pocket; you don’t have to bank the cue ball off three cushions—pro-Romney, anti-Palin, baloney; It’s anti-Obama. Sometimes the enemy of your enemy is your friend.

a $20 million television ad campaign targeting the president 497 days before voters head to the polls in November 2012.

GOOD MOVE! As a long-time political junkie I've found you hit them hard at the start of the Campaign or earlier...then hit 'em hard in the last days of the Campaign. You can do the "normal" campaign stuff in between.

"TPM asked the Obama campaign about the ad, and Rove's new $20 million campaign. Spokesperson Ben LaBolt said people who have he the kind of political Rove does shouldn't throw stones when it comes to the economy.

"It's no surprise that Karl Rove would produce an ad that clouds over the failed economic policies that led us into the recession..."

.

Rove's ads will be effective they use charts and graphs.

Voters respond to visuals, not a bunch of dates and numbers.

My kingdom for a proofreader. Good Lord. With that being said, this paragraph caused me to go back and make sure this was not satire.

"It's no surprise that Karl Rove would produce an ad that clouds over the failed economic policies that led us into the recession and ignores the President's efforts that have put us on a path to recovery," he said. "Maybe that's because the Republican candidates are proposing a return to those same failed policies of the past - rolling back Wall Street oversight, extending tax cuts for the richest Americans on the backs of middle class families and ending Medicare as we know it."

Good Lord indeed. These people are either sociopaths or are delusional. I see no alternative.

The real starting gun of the 2012 presidential race may be sounding Monday, and it's coming in the form of massive attack ad campaign aimed squarely at President Obama's economic record.

The problem is Rove and most of the GOP are just as ignorant of economics as Obama.

So long as the target remains Obama, you’ll not hear a negative peep out of me. I am, however, highly suspicious of the man, particularly after than weeks-long shreiking hissy fit he threw trashing the Republican winner in Delaware.

At a minimum, these targeted ads will likely be the vehicle with which to frame the debate in a manner most favorable to the candidate or candidates he most favors as well. Romney, for the most part.

But, prove me wrong, Karl. Keep it clean and keep your focus on Obama. In that you’d have my full support.

David Bossie, maybe. Rove? I doubt it.

The ads will start appearing on Monday, and will run on national cable as well as broadcast covering key swing states, including Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, New Mexico, Nevada, and Virginia.

Florida news--let's keep our eye out for these anti-Hussein truthful ads.

Thank God someone is starting to take this clown on in the public airwaves. Karl Rove may not be everyone's hero, and there is plenty to criticize Rove about--his anti-Palin remarks, for instance. But I applaud him openly taking on the anti-capitalist Hussein.
