Rove's 'genius' is highly overrated. IMO he's a borderline bonehead who got lucky in two elections. Veeeeeery lucky in fact. As there's no way in hades that Kerry should have gotten that close. The Swifties won that election, NOT the boy 'genius'.

I'll go even further -- it's solely due to Rove that Dubya's poll numbers tanked. It is HE who came up with the seditious idea of pandering to the fricking illegals for the 'Hispanic' vote. It is ROVE who gave the House and the Senate to the RATS.

He should be tarred, feathered and run out of town on a rail. And it would have been better if he WAS indicted.

It's obvious to me that Bush, Rove, and the Republican Party did not learn a thing from the last election. They are so convinced that they can do no wrong that they are not the cause of the failure.

To wit: “We need better candidates, stronger organization, and a sharper, clearer message,” Rove said in a post-election debriefing. “We need to have the courage to say to members who have misbehaved or have overstayed their welcome that it is time to consider retirement.”

"It's not our [Bush's and Rove's] fault,

• we had bad candidates,
• we had a weak organization,
• the voters didn't understand out message,
• the media was unfairly on the Democrats side,
• ...every other excuse, except admitting the real fault.

  Rove! You're the problem!!! along with your uncontrolled deficit spending, big government "solutions", earmarks (alias Corruption), NCLB, snuggling up to Mexico and the Hispanics, ...
