I just remember that Rush Limbaugh open admitted to his audience, sometime in early summer, that Rove was counting on this strategy, and I got the feeling that Rush thought it was bad at the time. Grade for Rove: F-
I always thought Rove was completely overrated and was proved right in this last election. Many of us on FR would make better strategists and it wouldn't be hard if the GOP only fought back rather than the 'new tone'.
