Top Bush political advisor Karl Rove is getting behind the campaign to unseat Sen. Hillary Clinton, with a top Rove aid meeting personally on Wednesday with Clinton's challenger, former Yonkers Mayor John Spencer.

Spencer advisor Kevin Collins told the Post that while Taylor did not promise direct financial assistance, it is expected that "big name Republicans" will come to New York and raise campaign cash for Spencer.
Collins said that Rove's office reached out to the Vietnam combat veteran last week to ask for a statement in support of the Iraq war.
With the New York State Republican party in disarray, news that the architect of President Bush's political success is now helping Spencer is a major shot in the arm for conservatives who had feared a second term coronation for Mrs. Clinton, which would serve as a springboard for a 2008 presidential bid. But Rove's involvement makes sense on another level as well.
While Mrs. Clinton's previous challenger, Jeanine Pirro, seldom attacked her on anything but Hillary's presidential ambitions - Spencer has been blasting both Clintons for being weak in the war on terror.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! John Spencer is a great candidate!
(((((JOHN SPENCER PING))))
We can only hope some good will come of this, I would like to see more Republican aid in the defeat of John Kerry and Fat Ted too. If the Republicans asked for money from Republicans all over the country maybe we could unseat these horrible senators.
Plus, Mrs. Clinton HATES Carl Rove and this should send her blood pressure reeling...John, have Carl show up on a bunch of fund raising trips, speak a little, introduce you, etc. Man, the best way to get to Mrs. Bill Clinton is to make her screech and GET THOSE SOUND BITES on TV for all to hear! New York needs a CLINTON enima, big time!
I don't know much about him, being out here on the West Coast. Can anyone bring me up to speed on this guy in a nutshell? I am just glad to see that Rove is not retiring and still stickin' it to Team DUmmie.
Nobody thought that David had a chance against Goliath, but the smart money, then and now, is on Goliath/Hillary.
We need a picture of John Spencer. I never heard of him.
What am I missing here?
It would be worth making a User over there just to watch them implode on election day. ROFL.
Wasn't he on West Wing, and died recently? (/sarcasm)
Start early so they don't get suspicious, make a few posts and drink the Kool Aid for a while. When they go into "double-super-secret" lockdown you can still get in.
If Hitlary can't win in '06, her presidential bid for '08 is toast.
Our buddy Karl knows this all too well I'm sure.
I would be safe right up until I started posting "DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD!!!!!" once the race was called. ROFL.
Got my wallet open and ready.
Mass. is a lost cause. Jesus Christ could be Ted Kennedy's opponent and the Swimmer would still win.
Then again, No springboard, no bellyflop. Even if whe gets the Senate Seat, she is still so unpopular she wouldn't get elected. She would get the nomination though just because she is a Klintoon. Rove knows that if he can take her out of the political arena for a couple of years, like Gore, she will start the lecture circus and give some great sound bites that would completely doom a presidency run.
