Rove Is Overrated

[mediaman007]

Lots of messages here mention the Bush* adviser, Karl Rove. Not that anyone here has ever expressed that Rove is a genius, but I don't recall any discussions about his qualifications.

I think that he is overrated! Not knowing his resume, I think that his background is in dirty tricks. I can't imagine that he could really give some quality advice to his candidate. I'm sure that he uses the southern states and right wing strategy, but that is an easy one. All he had to do was inherit it from Reagan.

His skill may be in bullying (Florida recount), and working with Diebold voting machines. But I don't think that he really understands how to bring the middle of America to his party, except for establishing fear.

I think that his ego will cause him to make some big mistakes this Fall. Already his talking points to the media are becoming a joke. The next big mistake will be his use of the swift boat veterans. Then he may also be in trouble for outing Valerie Plame.

I don't think that he can make it to election day.
