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

Politics is what Karl Rove is best at!!!!!!

My bet no indictment coming.

I don't see it that way at all. Rove is a genius at politics and he's got to do some fast work in order for the GOP to do better in 2006.

We cannot afford to lose the House and Senate - and if we can actually pad both a little .. it will take even more power away from the dems and hopefully make the weaker GOP members realize that helping the dems isn't working.

Not likely.

He was more or less in storage until the election cycle restarted. This was the intent all along, IMO.

No .. It happened in 2004. When an election is near Rove leaves his white house job to work on the election. After the election is over he comes back to a staff job in the white house.

Typically those who do what Rove does in campaigns never make the white house staff. They just run campaigns.

Rove is the first person to have both policy and campaign duties. But for elections he just does campaign stuff.

During the 2004 campaign he was working 80 to 90 hours a week on the campaign. Then after the election of 2004 Bush appointed him to the job he just resigned. He will be back on the white house staff in November.
