Karl Rove Breaks It All Down For Us

The threat Mrs. Palin poses is why Mr. Obama's campaign has moved rapidly to disparage her record, and why left-wing bloggers have engaged in nonstop character smears against her and her family. Some in the press have aided and abetted this because they feel left out of the preannouncement vetting process. The danger for Democrats is twofold: in highlighting Mrs. Palin's inexperience, they may focus attention on Mr. Obama's; and the harsh attacks levied against Mrs. Palin could completely undermine the Obama promise of a "new politics." In the vice-presidential debate, Democrats must be concerned about Mr. Biden appearing bombastic and condescending -- which is almost a permanent state of mind for the Delaware senator -- while Mrs. Palin comes across as fresh, straight talking, nonpolitical and therefore appealing.

This will be history's shortest general-election campaign. The race is tight, so every new variable carries substantial risk and opportunity. So while the GOP vice-presidential pick is by far the more creative and bold, it is also the more dangerous.

But even if Mrs. Palin does well, as I believe she will, it is still Mr. McCain's performance in the next 61 days that will matter most. Sarah Palin can help advance the McCain reform narrative, but the hard work still rests squarely on the shoulders of John McCain. And that's exactly where the maverick and war hero wants it.

It's funny. Rove is so full of shit that he could easily be lying about everything he's lying about that he knows we all know he's lying about. Reading Rove is like putting two mirrors of deceit up against each other.

1. He said that they would gain seats in 2006.

'Nuff said. The court sorcerer was only smoke and mirrors.

[quantass]

2. Fantastic! We're doing well i see!! Like you said "two mirrors of deceit"

[crimsonblue]

3. All one needs is to watch tonight's Daily Show

and Rove's idiocy and hypocrisy is clear. Fucktard.

4. he's full of shit

they know she's inexperienced. I knew it when she ran for governor of my state. They project their weaknesses. Obama by landslide.

5. I'm frightened.

I agree with much of he says! Have I fallen for his devious ploy? Am I just naive? Or is he actually being halfway honest for once?

[DarthDem]

7. Thanks for Your Concern

:hi:

[Marsala]

8. You're welcome

I was just being sarcastic. I think the analysis was OK but spun to the Republican side. We should take lessons from it but rest assured that the advantage is all ours. This is our race to lose, not Sarah Palin's race to win.

how in the world did a commercial flight allow the gov to get on a plane from texas to alaska while she was in labor -

lends to the rumor around the capital that she wasn’t really pregnant…

the rumor i heard is that the baby is her oldest daughter’s child and that they decided to raise the baby as their own.

i don’t think it’s bad in any way, but i do think it’s strange that they would go to such extreme measures to hide it.

"while Mrs. Palin comes across as fresh, straight talking, nonpolitical and therefore appealing."

what? she sounded like anne coulter... I've heard some of anne's audio books where she reads it herself, just studying the enemy, sarah really reminded me of her.

11. this is the same karl rove who disparaged tim kaine for only having three years

experience as governor and being mayor of the country's 105th largest city.
