"If you make a charge against a candidate that initially seems damning but is quickly discredited, it ends up enhancing the candidates credibility. It also casts doubt on all future charges."

just kidding, mostly...
Ha! Well, every time someone calls Rove an evil genius, I privately think, "Damn straight. Glad he's on our side."
