The bitch is simply unable to spell out percentage that got Clinton (it was 43% in 1992 and I do not remember the number for 1996) elected.

Exactly!

[Howlin]

Yes, I believe Klinton got a "Mandate for Change" headline in "Time" when he garnered 43% of the vote.

And there were NO screams for bipartisanship then, no talk of a divided country.

Karl Rove knew how to capatilize on the move to the right. He found the way to tap into this and produce votes - most people in this nation are conservative leaning he actually got them to the voting booths. he had help with people like melman and ralph reed but he was the architect

[jpl]

Rove is absolutely right that conservatism is the dominant political force in America today. The problem is getting the Republican party to recognize this, because no matter how many times they win, they always seem to act like it's an accident of history or something and that they're headed back into the minority if they make just one little mistake.

Karl Rove is not the genius he's made out to be.
