Rovian ruminations: Karl Rove scans the presidential races
...........

But yesterday in an unusual and long, ruminative interview with C-SPAN's Distance Learning Class and Steve Scully with dozens of college students hooked up at universities around the country, Rove admitted he was surprised by several things in the current election campaign.

One was the ability of Rudy Giuliani to stay atop the Republican field as long as he has and to draw the support of Republicans such as Pat Robertson "that I would not have expected him to draw." He attributed this to Giuliani building his campaign around the war on terror and his successful experience as a leader running New York City, reducing crime, welfare and the general coarseness of urban life there.

"He's got a record," Rove said, "and part of that record involves speaking his mind bluntly and plainly and acting on his convictions."

Rove said he was also impressed with Mitt Romney. "He's done a very good job and has run a textbook campaign in building strength in Iowa and New Hampshire. He's very well organized...and the strength he has in the early states is authentic."

Rove said he was also surprised "at how weak Obama and Edwards have turned out to be. Both of them are going to give her some scares. She's (Hillary Clinton) going to lose something along the way, maybe starting with Iowa. But the surprise to me is how they haven't been able to take advantage of the openings they've been given and exploit them."

1. considering that Rove lost the last two presidential elections...

...I don't understand why he's given air time to speculate on anything more important than turds.

2. "natural maturation process "

:rofl:

Okay whew that was funny.... okay seriously Rove seems to not have "Self taught" himself to remember that the Hillary records thing was completely bulls**t
