He seemed quite ready to dispose of Akin, the Republican, but what about the Democrat ~ does anyone have any idea who Rove works for these days?
He works for whomever provides the greatest opportunity to wield influence. Influence is everything to Karl Rove. He’s rooted into the Republican side of things but holds much greater disdain for social conservatives than he does for any Democrat, witness Delaware 2010, when he threw a stomping, squealling fit in support of a man who quite literally was a Democrat in all but name.
I’m thinking his stepfather was far more influential in his life than is generally understood.
