I did some research for my interview with Karl Rove for tonight’s ON THE RECORD at 10pm and I was surprised at all the recent articles about Karl Rove and Governor Palin. Apparently the other day he made a statement about whether she would be running or not — or whether he thought she would run or something like that — and the media went wild. He doesn’t know if she is running – only she does (and probably her family.)

Anyone who cover politics or is fascinated by politics or recognizes the importance of politics, wants to know who is running. We know who the Democratic nominee, but what about the Republicans? The field is growing…. and yes, we recently had some shrinkage (Gov Pawlenty.)

There is fascination about whether Mayor Giuliani is jumping in or not….whether Governor Christie will change his mind (seems doubtful) ….whether Governor Pataki is going to throw his hat in the ring…and the media is 100 per cent consumed with Governor Sarah Palin’s plans. Is she running or not? She sure doesn’t have to tell anyone but everyone sure wants to know…and some people are guessing like crazy.

It is amazing that after all these months, the media still can’t seem get enough of Governor Palin.....

Karl Rove is a professional political strategist. And a major BS artist. His so-called analyses of things are really attempts to move the needle rather than explaining what is going on. What he says is fact is merely what he wants fact to be, and relies on “perception becomes reality” to influence the day.

As a political strategist, Sarah Palin cleans his clock. Rove could never get a client of his into the influential position that Palin has gotten herself into. His clients have never commanded the attention that Palin does. I’m sure in their private moments political strategists all over the country are in shock and awe as to how Palin does what she does. She is rewriting their job descriptions.
