McCain brings in 'The Bullet' as White House race turns nasty - karl rove protege
Edited on Sun Aug-03-08 06:23 PM by spanone
in the article it call this guy a 'protoge of karl rove'

~snip~
Steve Schmidt is known as 'The Bullet'. Part of that is to do with his bald-headed appearance, but it is also as much to do with his hyper-aggressive political style. He was promoted to run McCain's campaign at the beginning of last month, after he and several other aides went to McCain and warned him that his presidential bid was in dire trouble.

Schmidt has been joined by other key figures from the Rove-era Bush White House. They include the formidable figure of Nicole Wallace, a Bush campaign spokeswoman in 2004, and Greg Jenkins, a former Fox TV journalist who once worked for Bush's campaign. The group has sought to tighten an operation that was floundering under its previous leadership. They have also given it a sharply negative edge.

2. Obama is too much ahead, he can try whatever he wants - it won't work.

5. Be that as it may, desperation has
set in at the McSame camp which IMO could lead to another stolen election if they are not watched very closely. Stealing it might be the only way they could win but all things considered nothing is too low or beneath the Reptilians.
