I wonder if they feel that he still might be indictment by fitz.

This is good. Rove is very good at the politics game and at getting elections won.

"WASHINGTON - In another move in an ongoing shakeup of President Bush's staff, longtime confidant and adviser Karl Rove is giving up oversight of policy development to focus more on politics with the approach of the fall midterm elections, a senior administration official said Wednesday."

This is great news.

[OldFriend]

Now that it's been leaked, I hope it's not true.

Altho I think it's time for Rove to retire.

Karl Rove is giving up oversight of policy development to focus more on politics with the approach of the fall midterm elections, a senior administration official said Wednesday.

Even if this is true, this means more troubles for the democrats. Rove is back again to beat the sh*t out of them as he has been doing for the last five years.

Good call. The WOT is going well, but domestic policies are being co-opted by the dims, and the party is fractured. The economic strength, job creation (including illegal immigration), and money policy should be front page news. But noooooooo. We get a presser on Iraq. He should b!tchslap these clowns after they resign.

[The South Texan]

As I've been posting for months now, Rove is great at winning elections. Managing policy decisions and the PR effort that goes along with them, he is not. I think the list is long of the policy decisions and allowing the Rats and the MSM an avenue to beat Bush over the head with the missteps warrant his exit back to winning elections.

[aculeus]

This could be a great move.



Let Rove be Rove.


All politics all the time.

[Unmarked Package]

This is great news. Karl Rove's genius and skills can be better applied to defeating the enemies of America by concentrating on defeating Democrats in elections.

[TheForceOfOne]

I see nothing bad about this move or that it should reflect negatively on Karl. He has work to do getting people elected and he must be free to refine his time to do so.

[YouPosting2Me]

He can concentrate more on the Evil-Weather-Machine since we are approaching hurricane season.

[Raycpa]

It takes time to program those voting machines.

[B Knotts]

Finally!

This move, more than anything else of recent memory, will help get the Bush Administration back on track.

Rove should never have been anywhere near policy development.

[rolling_stone]

I sure hope Karl wakes up in time to hear the people screaming no Amnesty or R's will have a tough election.

[TheCornerOffice]

Don't you love the headline, "Karl Rove to lose policy portfolio..." instead of "Karl Rove shifts responsibilities" or "Karl Rove to focus on elections"?

I think the headline writers love to use a word that indicates defeat. Other equally effective ones would be "Karl Rove to surrender policy portfolio" or "Karl Rove forced to relinquish responsibilities". But I'll bet you don't see a "neutral" headline about this in the MSM.

Karl Rove to Lose Policy Portfolio

Gee, I hope he finds it.

[BUSHdude2000]

With Wednesday's change, Rove will be able to focus more on politics, fundraising and big-picture thinking with the approach of the November congressional elections, officials said.

I'm fired up about this - 2002 all over again! This was not what the Democrats wanted to hear.
