""Added to this is a near pathological fear of Bush's political adviser Karl Rove... blah blah ... Nothing could play more into Rove's hand.""
Columnist, heal thyself.
The Rovemania is hilarious. Rove isn't running the congressional races and the Repubs are going to run against Bush on illegal immigration and pick up seats.
You're right. The Dems get their hats handed to them because they've come out against the war, they've attacked the US at every opportunity, they put up Kerry of all people for their candidate, they've come out in favor of the Katrina mobs, now they've turned Mrs. King's funeral into an embarrassment, and they think Rove is behind their collapse.
Which I occasionally share.
