I've observed the same distinction ever since November, 2000. Recall when Rove showed up on the networks election night brandishing computer printouts of Florida precincts that ostensibly "proved" the state shouldn't have been called for Gore?
While he proved to be correct -- and, perhaps, contributed to the subsequent withdrawal of the Gore call -- it was the action (and the weaponry) of a tactician, immersed in the exotic details of a campaign.
The net:net is that every campaign needs a Karl Rove. But he has no business running it, creating and directing the campaign's strategy.
Especially now, when he's incapable of seeing the 2014-16 strategic forest for all the tactical trees.
Preach it bros…..I’ve owned the url www.FireKarlRove.com since 2001 or 2002. I never believed. You and I were pioneers in a way.
