Reply #78: Rove is a "genius" in the Nixonian sense [View All]

Rove is a "genius" in the Nixonian sense:
So far he has gotten away with so much dirty political
work, and he has been barely sullied. Even
treasongate seems to have only affected him for
a day or two. It'w amazing. He remains the powerbroker in the Whitehouse.

It really is amazing in the article I posted about push polling
in SC that he got away with this. It says something
about the awareness of the average American voter that this never
became a defining issue in the primaries or the general election.


Of course, Rove and friends won't hesitate to use a
dirty tricks strategy against Democrats. Nixon used dirty tricks against the electable Muskie, and yet his fall was for Watergate (spying
on the DNC), not so much for the dirty tricks.
