The Rove NPR interview-very interesting

[underpants]

So the supposed "expert" has secret data that he thinks only he sees. :eyes: Don't we see the indvidual polls as they are released? Don't we see the money raised by each campaign and the money spent by them as well as the re-election committees and the special interest groups? WHAT SECRET DATA DOES HE THINK HE SEES? Rove clearly is assuming that any questions about losing in two weeks are based on broad national polls.

I love at the end how suddenly it isn't all black or white in his world. No, elections are very complicated things you so.

MR. ROVE: Well, I think Iraq and the economy play a role in virtually every race, but there are also local considerations in the local contests between two individuals that at the end of the day matters for a great deal of the contest.

It's not a -- and there's a natural human desire to simplify everything to one big thing. You know, Curley's (sp) line from the movie, "One thing." But that's not the way politics really is. Politics is a complex equation which voters are going to be examining a variety of issues and a variety of characteristics as they arrive at their decision.



All this adds up to a conclusion that is hard to miss-He is getting out the explanation of how the Republicans managed to pull out another victory when it would appear they are doomed to at least lose the House. They are writing the copy for teleprompters now.

Very interesting read. It's about the war and then it isn't and then it is again but it is more complicated than just if America wins or not but then it isn't.

1. I think his "secret data"...

...is related to how he plans to win in the post-election fracas, where the GOP uses the fog of chaos to challenge results in many locations.

I believe that's his current "fall-back" position.

2. We can't be complacent, Rove has never lost an election...

We don't know what he looks like when he's going down, so we need to keep the fire blazing to election day. He's like a contemporary horror movie villain, just when you think he's dead, he jumps up and attacks, ready to go for the next installment. It hurst challengers when the election is as late as it is. The timing essentially gives Rove and the WH an extra week to scare the bejesus out of the American electorate.

3. They have the means, motive, and opportunity

we're watching a crime in progress.
