Free Republic

September 16, 2010The New O Word is 'obsolete' Jay Valentine This week was the turning point when the Republican establishment finally "got it." The Tea Party is going to make a difference; they are going to change political lives as has not been seen in a generation. An entire class of Republicans, many still in Congress, is obsolete.

WASHINGTON - With polls showing that voters favor Democrats over Republicans in the coming congressional races, even some Republican strategists are pessimistic. But they're overlooking the power of Karl Rove. In his 2004 victory speech, Bush described Rove as the architect of his win. Normally, President Bush does not invite his friends' offspring to his birthday party. This past July 4, however, he invited Andrew Rove, the 16-year-old son of Bush's political guru. It was a special gesture that showed how much Rove means to the president. Because most of what Rove does is done in secret, it's easy for...
