Karl Rove intensified his attack on Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday, saying she lacked the vision to be president while saying she was so weak on national security and support for the armed forces.
Mr. Rove, President Bushs political adviser, has been criticizing Mrs. Clinton since Monday, when he announced his intention to resign from the White House and coupled it with candid analysis, notably, calling Mrs. Clinton a fatally flawed presidential candidate.
Mrs. Clinton, of New York, and her advisers have denounced the attacks while privately welcoming them, hopeful that Mr. Rove, a bête noire to Democrats, will spur liberal skeptics of Mrs. Clinton to rally to her.
Advisers to Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, a Clinton rival, conjecture that Mr. Rove is trying to help Mrs. Clinton win the Democratic presidential nomination because, this thinking goes, she would be easier to beat than Mr. Obama.
Mr. Rove gave two high-profile interviews yesterday, on Rush Limbaughs radio program and to Reuters, essentially delivering the same message: that Mrs. Clinton had opposed Republican efforts to overhaul health care and expand medical benefits to more Americans and that she had opposed the USA Patriot Act, domestic surveillance programs and other antiterrorism measures.
Look, she is who she is, Mr. Rove said on Mr. Limbaughs syndicated program. There is no front-runner who has entered the primary season with negatives as high as she has in the history of modern polling.
Shes going into the general election with, depending on what poll you look at, in the high 40s on the negative side and just below that on the positive side. And theres nobody who has ever won the presidency who started out in that kind of position.

She paraded around the Iowa State Fair dressed all in yellow.....that’s her natural color.
ROFL!!! I guess Obama's tinfoil hat fits pretty well, huh?
At some point Obama will try the “Hillary is unelectable” line of attack.
Maybe it’s not just menthol cigarettes he’s smoking !
Yeah - probably - the thing is (I think) that whenever he does it will only highlight his on inability to be elected. He is definitely charismatic though - and he’s got her there.
I predict that by the ‘Rats scamper their way into Denver for their convention next summer, that both Obama and Hiliarly will be so mortally wounded that neither one of them will get the nomination.
“... and then just before he went into retirement, Rush thought about his pledge to stay on the air until the world agreed with him. One day he picked up a NYT saw this story, and knew his work was almost done. Soon he was golfing his life away.” :-)
great interview with the two masters yesterday, a must listen/read. it’s going to drive the liberatti crazy when mr. rove’s book comes out and will shatter all selling numbers.
Rove you Magnificent B*STARD
/Sarcasm OFF
Shhhhhhh!...Not until she’s won the DNC nomination.
LOL!! I’m thinking there’s a good photoshop in this conversation. I wish I had the time to play today! :-D
It’s good to see some of that Rovian STRATERGY directed towards the Dem enemies! Rove you Magnificent B*STARD, LOL, man oh man, an uninhibited ROVE will drive the Left around the bend and off the cliff just in time to thwart any attempt to track back to the center. That is perfect.
I wonder of the Hill’s attack dogs can resist the ROVE?
Rove —out of the WH, should scare the RAT candidates silly.
Now he can go after them publically as an individual rather than as a WH executive branch advisor.
I am betting he will drive them crazy and con them into some honest and really stupid reactions. Plus he will alternative candidate focus and get them attachking each other before its over. The RATS are already talking race favoritism, etc as per Edward’s wife. That is an potnetially disterous topic for them to throw around at each other. As long as they stay on each other’s biases and weakness, this election could be really fun.
She said the same thing when her husband was in office. The sentence is so deceptively simple, but think of the economics behind it:
1. Lower the price
2. Increase the quality
3. Increase the quantity
If she can do that, all of the economics textbooks in the world will have to be rewritten. Stated differently, she's an economic idiot.
