Best I can tell is it is from either the '88 or '92 Bush campaign. Note Roves lapel pin. I posted that to show that Rove has always worked for the Bushes. Bush 1 groomed Rove and Atwater while they were with the collage Repubs in the 70's. One thing I might give Rove a pass on is loyalty. I hated Nixon because he was a huge progressive, but I love G Gordon Liddy because of his unwavering loyalty to him no matter what.

Too bad Rove didn't follow Atwater in class and style

Those were the golden years for the modern Republican party. Reagan and Atwater. I figured it was either 88 or 92 due to the Bush lapel pin, but then figured it could have been anywhere from the Bush 1980 run up to the Job and W campaigns for governor. I suspect you are correct that it one of HW’s presidential runs in 88 or 92. I also got your message that it was symbolizing the close relationship between the Bush’s and Rove. As you said loyalty is a positive trait. The weird thing is that Rove keeps ending up in the position of aggressively defending the establishment status quo in the party. But yet he doesn’t consider himself part of that group.
