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.

You dont suppose his resignation was just another cunning Rove plot that will end up suckering the Dems once again, do you?

That is exactly what I think-

They’ve released the pit bull into the Political Arena. (wink)
Not any more than they can resist Bashing Bush.
Vote Against Hillary, No more Interns for Bill!
Somebody needs to start talking about the rapes and sexual assaults and the lid committee. Hillary’s the only one who’s been there long enough to have been in charge of the lid committee. She pretty much has to be personally responsible for two or three dozen women being sexually assaulted and/or raped.
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.

The drive by’s will never question or evaluate the economics. They will swoon beholden to the politics of liberalism, the politics of self destruction.
Yea....RIGHT! When in-your-face truth-tellers like Rove talk, it stings Dems like walking into a hornet's nest face first.
Rove may be going, but he isn’t going quietly—I love it.
Rush was at the White house recently. Had dinner with the W family and hung out for a few hours. He stayed the night and had 4:30 breakfast with Karl. That same day a lot of big gun conservative talk radio hosts had a meeting at the White house.
The plan is afoot. Karl is loose.
Let the games begin !
Right. So why worry and why criticize her? Best thing for the GOP is that she be nominated!
The second coming of Clinton would prove to be the second coming of Geraldine Ferraro. (And she's got a LOT more baggage than GF!)
Let's not knock her off prematurely, as we did Dean, lest we be stuck with someone harder to beat!
from dogbreedinfo.com:
The Rat Terrier proved to be one of the best in the rat-baiting pits. One Rat Terrier is reported to have killed over 2,501 rats in a span of only seven hours in a rat infested barn. The Rat Terrier is a hard-working farm hand, able to rid an infested barn of vermin with no problem.
“You dont suppose his resignation was just another cunning Rove plot that will end up suckering the Dems once again, do you?”
I think you hit the nail on the head...expect to hear a lot from him in the near future.
Yikes! Where’d that one come from?
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.
As I’ve often pointed out in the forum here.
The only chance she has of winning is if the GOP nominates somebody the ‘base’ won’t fully and completely support.
Like Guiliani....McCain....Ron Paul.
That picture is “Hitler in Drag!”
“ROFL!!! I guess Obama’s tinfoil hat fits pretty well, huh?”
I don’t know. Seems to me the best thing that could happen for Republicans is for Hillary to get the nomination. No matter what the polls say now, I think she’s unelectable.
