Rove's Legacy

Carl Rove has been called lots of things- but dumb is never one of them. While the democrats fumble around trying to decide how Republican they can act in '08, Carl is already very hard at work wrapping up then next election for whatever wingnut next sucks in the nomination. McCain and Ghooliani probably shouldn't hold their breath- Bush will hand pick his successor and he's gonna be someone the American Taliban- Sam Smith's term for the far right- can really get behind. Why? Becuase that's Rove's strategy. Step one: Shore up and strengthen the already electrified American Taliban base- and second- here's the bigee- take the Hispanic vote away from the Dems entirely- thereby opening up California to the Repubs in '08. What he's doing- first Hispanic Attorney General and the work visa for aliens issue- is obvious and quite brilliant- but it's going to be really difficult 4 years from now to listen to the damn morons in the news media talking about what a surprise the whole thing was and how the Dems were just outmanuevered again.
