I think some of the comments dismiss Rove rather harshly. He helped get GWB elected twice, and GWB is probably the worst President the US has had in a hundred years. He is, I suggest, as good a judge of what it takes to be President as any pundit, and better than most; we should take his assessment of Obama more seriously than some of the above do. As someone else said, I think in the NY Times, a long primary campaign is a test of the candidates’ character, it hardens them for the job of President. Obama seems to me to be too flaky for the job, too much in debt to dubious principles that will not stand up to the test of reality. He is the ideal candidate, not the real one. And remember, in the end it is the economy- people’s livelihoods- that is the reason for democracy. Good luck in November, we outside the States wish we could vote too, the result effects us as much as it does you.

Rove needs McCain to win over Obama, otherwise Rove will be in serious legal trouble (unless of course he gets a pardon from the current president for his part of the high crimes/ possible treason)

Maybe later. I spend so much time countering some of the more egregious anti-Obama stuff that I’m beginning to think I should be paid for it.

I’ll pay you in compliments!

Now about countering some of the points Rove or I or Ed made?

I am ecstatic that Rove and the RNC are after Obama. It shows 2 things: Clearly they see him as the front runner and obviously he is not their choice for Democratic candidate. Their frenetic bashings show them to be like cats on hot bricks before that possibility.

God bless Michael! Thanks. I think Obama supporters are slowly realizing that they need to support obama because of what he has done, which is nothing. Instead of pointing fingers at Hillary. Just because they presumably believe that Hillary is not the right candidate, it does not in anyway make obama any better.
Whining, I am all I can say is Obama is truly the leader showing the path for his supporters:).

Karl Rove, the former adviser to US President George W. Bush, partisan hack

Oww, did I write that? End of debate on this topic I guess.

Now about countering some of the points Rove or I or Ed made?

I mean, I realize that whining is quite popular nowadays, but perhaps people taking a break from it is useful? Couldn’t resist.

Oh yes, Karl Rove, just who I would go to for an objective analysis of Obama. Next, I suggest you post an analysis of McCain by, say, Michael Moore.
