Karl Rove : Deciphered
Interesting article up at Vanity Fair on Karl Rove, the evil genius behind the ascension of Connecticut native George Bush. The best part is this from Matthew Dowd that quite effectively explains how Bush got elected in the first place and why there will never be a Rovian Republican majority:
"The vast majority of the country is a mix," says Dowd. "If the country sees the parties only representing those segments on the outer edge, the middle is going to get more and more frustrated, and seek out somebody who has some ability to speak to a broader interest. And that's where I think we're headed. I think the successful people in the years ahead are going to be people who in the public's mind bring consensus, and are not ideologically driven, and have a desire to bring people together." Bush's vow in 2000 to be "a uniter, not a divider" had seemed to promise a new kind of politics, and it helped inspire Dowd, a former Democratic consultant, who had first gone to work for Bush in Texas. "It's one of the things I'm most disappointed in, as you look back, that it didn't happen," Dowd says.
The entire article is extremely informative, especially for those of us who like to gather as much knowledge as possible on the opposition.
