If Rove goes, W is dead in the water and his spiteful nature will surface for everyone to see. It will be the harbinger his political death.

No one can doubt that Karl Rove is a brilliant election strategist; however, W never does better than when Karen Hughes is around. Could the potential indictment of Rove be the reason W brought Hughes back to DC from Texas ... and put her in a nothing job at the State Department ... so that she could easily step right into Rove's shoes?

caratid..

I just got a lesson today, If I may be so humble as to pass the link along... re: 25th ammendment:

http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/amendment25/#annotations

I believe there is more going on here re: the attack on the Republican / (Conservatives) party first tier. Frist, Delay, Rove to get to Bush, Scooter to get to Cheney.....

Read the link to the end.

Rockefeller memo... remember that?

There is a method to the Dems madness and the Miers withdrawal has jacked up their track.

Makes one wonder.

CFRelations / Trilateral Commission.... When the first tier is wiped out, who stands to ascend to the Presidency? I had to read it 3 times (the link that is).. a coup is at hand.

For the 'adults' on the forum to think about.

I think people give far too much credence to Rove importance to Bush. Bush is done!

Rove is being kept to reward him for good work and to work for the party!

He means nothing to Bush and everything to the party. it is what he does. He get's people elected by navigating the political rapids. The only other job remaining for him is the library and legacy, which he can do from the outside.

He is now engaged in planing for 06,08, and Bush will not fall down because he may be gone. He has other advisors for day to day office stuff.

You're quite right about Hughes. She really ought to be the Press Secretary. I can tell you as a former reporter/shark in the big city, she commands respect and her politcal instincts are second to none.

I really belive Miers was a sacrificial lamb by designer. The head fake really has confused the left about who she was and why they opposed her. The conservative base actually has gained strength from this manuever and the dimwit msm doesn't see that the CIA leak story is now riding in the backseat. Oh...they're leading with...Chaos in the administration, but when the smoke clears, W will hand their #$$&& to them.

I am eating my hat about Rove. You are right about Hughes, she is a first rate mind and an important element in his rise to the Presidency. He can use them both! I hope that I was just as wrong about "his spiteful nature." We will see if his SCOTUS choice is a good conservative or he tries to "stick it" to the conservatives who forced Miers to resign.
