Rove:Questions raised

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/08/13/rove.analysis/index.html
well sure Bush is involved in oil and sure, I guess Rove wanted to see some tax reduction now for the next election. Sure Bush is the partner of big oil and sure, he still can fight his Iraq war without objection.

So the question was watering can or special ops money for the election?
Watering can: no money available without stopping the war
special ops: no money without continuing the war by the oil industry and others
PLIERS!

Bush is sure to commit his 10000th Kennedy assassination and Rove probably said he thinks its been very close the last 2x already.

Rove left voluntarily I guess. Anyway.

Bushs conclusion is:

the candidates wont have anything to offer in terms of watering can to the public so they´ll have to stick to him.

In other words Bush doesnt like Guiliani, Romney, McCain.
Its still his political death. Its PLIERS! Hes the asshole again.

SUMMARY:
-special ops money
-long term election designer fired. the three rep candidates need the lifeboats
-rove with one foot in prison due to attorney firings and bush doesnt want to see him in front of a committee

RESULT:
This only serves u if u r a godfather

From DIGBY:

(Digby says exactly the same: Rove is the election man - and there was a division on how to win the next one)

GOP at a loss? Karl Rove has an 11th-hour plan to win. He taps government resources to boost candidates in need. By Tom Hamburger and Peter Wallsten Times Staff Writers October 29, 2006 ...This week, Rove and his staff will turn to their endgame. They will oversee a mobilization of political employees from Cabinet agencies, Capitol Hill and lobbying firms many of them skilled campaign veteran to more than a dozen battleground states. Many will act as "marshals," supervising the "72-hour plan" developed by Rove in 2001 with Ken Mehlman, the former White House political director who now heads theRepublican National Committee...the success of the get-out-the-vote effort depends on putting a reliable army of volunteers into the field, and some worry about the sour mood among Republicans this year. Rove and Mehlman have tried to ensure quality control by recruiting experienced operatives to supervise key state operations. In the summer, they invited hundreds of political appointees from Cabinet agencies, along with other GOP activists and Hill staffers, to attend a pep rally in Washington. The event featured appeals to politically experienced federal appointees to volunteer for campaign work in battleground races in the final two weeks of the campaign. In a twist that resembled an Amway sales meeting more than a political strategy session, they offered those who signed up on the spot a chance to win an iPod and other prizes. As the political landscape shifted in September and October, Rove's office suggested new destinations for some of these volunteers, pointing them toward races that had become more critical.But to senior-level political appointees, such conversations with the White House would not be anything new: Nearly all have had regular contact with Rove and his political deputies to a degree previous generations of appointees did not. For example, Interior Department employees describe regular visits from Rove's staff during Bush's first term. On one occasion, Rove visited a retreat forthe 50 top Interior Department managers. The lights dimmed in an agency conference room as Rove went through a PowerPoint presentation showing battleground races in the 2002 midterm election, and occasionally made oblique but clearly understood references to Interior Department decisions that could affect these races. By stopping short of explicitly calling on the Interior Department officials to take action, Rove stayed within the rules against exerting improper political influence. This year, Rove's deputy, Sara Taylor, has delivered similar presentations to nearly every Cabinet agency providing managers with a look at polls showing presidential approval ratings and the latest data on House and Senate races. In addition to Taylor's visits to Cabinet agencies, Mary Matalin, the Republican consultant and former advisor to Vice President Dick Cheney, spoke to agencies this fall describing the stakes in November. "These visits are a reminder of what's important," said oneagency manager who attended one of the sessions. "They didn't need to say anything explicitly. We already knew what to do."
