He deserves the credit for Bush's win.

He deserves credit, yes; however, BUSH deserves credit for his win even more than Rove.

Amen.

Both deserve the glory. They are a team. Bush participates in his own strategy and is said to be involved in the details.

Both learned from Lee Atwater.

The Donks fear all three because they are winners. Even after 13 years, they still have nightsweats over Lee Atwater. Since the Donks believe it takes lying, cheating, bribing and assassination to win, they project these methods onto our team.

Dubya is a great campaigner. He has been a good President and may go down in history as a great one. Rove is meticulous at the numbers part of the strategy. IMO, they work together on the other aspects, but it is Dubya himself, his persona, his blend of passion and compassion and most of all, his follow thorough, that cinches his wins.He is a leader. He inspires and you do see him perspire. He manages to be great and human, all at the same time. He is humble and he is tough. It isn't about him, it is about America.

Rove is Lee without the charisma. Dubya supplies enough charisma by himself. I think the Donks hated that Lee was so cool, such a bad boy, such a non-Republican. Rove is none of that, he is the archetypal Republican. And he still wins. So, in the Donk mythology, he must use black magic.

JMO.
