Rove apparently gave a humdinger of a speech at the American Enterprise Institute,
and some are clucking that this could be the
last word from Bush's "architect".
If indicted, Rove will send Bush's favorability levels to astounding lows for
the self-proclaimed "war-time" President. But while distracted by
legal matters, Rove will no doubt likely to lurk behind the scenes of Republican
grand strategy for some time. He's a real genius when it comes to knowing how to
gut the Democratic party and call the issues that get the Republican 'base' to
turn out.
Clearly, Rove & Co. are weakened, but those challenging today's status
quo -- whether as dissident Republicans or Democrats -- make a major mistake
underestimating Rove's strategic political senses -- in or out of the White
House.
The best way to beat Rove is to out-Rove him and Bush's fellow travelers, but
there is scant evidence that that is happening yet.
