What was Rove's role in the Palin pick?
I'm asking this because I keep reading conflicting reports about Turd Blossom's role in the Palin Pick.

I've read that he wanted Romney and was most likely upset by the Palin Pick.

But I've also read that Mccain wanted Lieberman but only picked Palin on Rove's insistence.

I think it's a disaster of a pick and I'm wondering who is responsible for it.

1. I doubt he had much of a role
but I do think that lunatic La Haye probably had a very big role in it.

This is 100% from the fundies. Rove is smarter than this.

2. He picked one dumb ass for prez.
Now we get one for vp...and it's a woman, how sweet. If Rove had anything to do with it, remember he's all hat and no cattle when it comes to rulers with brains. He is the brain, the GOP runs the WH and they plan on keeping it that way. McSame has sold his soul for a few votes.

Not until free hands on both sides of the big ditch, can press the same buttons at the same time!
