Here is the link to yesterdays FReeper article stating that it was Rove himself who told Dobson that most of the potential nominees had withdrawn their names.

Then a poster on this board (see posts 1 thru 13) stated that he/she knew that Owen was one of them. I put post 13 on their because I smelled rotten fish.
