Perhaps a fairy tale... possibly a tin-foil-hat conspiracy theory... or perchance a peek behind the curtain.

If there is one thing Karl Rove ascribes to it's the adage, "You can't go wrong underestimating the intelligence of the American voter." He has any number of recent elections that point out the veracity in that statement. Ever since the mid-nineties, Republicans have pandered to those people who don't read newspapers, don't watch C-Span or PBS, and couldn't move around the internet if their life depended upon it. They are informationally challenged and he his new employers at the Murdock media empire and wing-nut radio provided just the pablum which such people required.

When it became clear that Barack Obama had captured the attention and imagination of so many citizens, Rove decided to act. After all, a comfy retirement waiting for the process server to come knocking is not the sort of life a guy who until so recently had so much power and influence could be comfortable with. So last year... when it was no longer any fun running a lame-duck administration into the toilet, Karl fled the stage and planned his new challenge.

Next: The Plan.
