(32,006 posts)The checks are not being made out to "Karl Rove" and "David Axelrod". They are being made out to a company.

(32,006 posts)I just know people at that level always form companies. They don't do personal checks.

(44,124 posts)That doesnt mean Alexrod and Rove formed a company together though.
It is kind of an interesting website. They have changed their pricing structure a bit, but I will never pay money to listen to Karl Roves bullshit

(459 posts)Axelrod has always struck me as someone who got lucky and hitched his wagon to a star, more than some strategic genius who helped make a star.
He also attacks a lot of progressives and is bizarrely (or suspiciously) defensive of Trump at times when it's really not called for. Wish I could say I was surprised that he's partnering with a scumbag like Rove. He's all about the $$$.

(32,006 posts)Obama had just been beaten in a 2000 race for Congress by the Daley machine in Chicago. Axelrod was a long time Daley political aide. When Obama made peace with Daley Axelrod joined. I am not saying Axelrod made Obama President but he did know how to do the dirty work needed in any national campaign.
