disagree with the title.

And to offset the hide ratings (which IMO are not appropriate - 'never voting Democrat' is very much an if/then statement).

That phrase really gets on my nerves. It's like a bad bedtime story parents tell their children to scare them into behaving. Rove is an idiot, and if people can't see that, then they aren't paying attention to Mr 28%.
Rove... sometimes I think people give him more credit than Darth Cheney himself.

much attention these past 8 yrs., have you. :>)

And I've watched everything that Bush has done be attributed to Rove, and it's obvious that you may be one of those doing the attributing.
On the other hand, I've always thought of him as an idiot whose so called "tactics" were anything but clever. The only thing that made them appear so were spineless people unwilling to challenge them for fear that the Rovian boogyman would get them.
Now if you want to keep Rove on a pedestal as some "genius," then by all means do so. I'm sure Rove's ego could use it considering his track record.

Where the friggin' hell is our Rove! That's all.

That's pretty much the consensus regarding her methods, if you don't understand the term read this (PDF).
Sometimes I thing people give Clinton too much credit, just like McCain himself. I could be wrong.

However, the "consensus" was reached by those that wish to read something into the man that simply isn't there. The so called "tactics" that he's used have been used by republicans for decades. It's amazing that some are just now beginning to evaluate them.
Rove is just a man, but you'll have to admit, some have turned him into something more than that, something to be feared. And as long as people are fearing him, they can never understand him.
From my vantage point, I see countless idiots populating republican circles. Those idiots have gained the upper hand time and again for one reason... they weren't challenged.
We'll have to agree to disagree on this one though because I refuse to puff up the republicans in my mind so as to cloud my thought with fear, which in a sense, is the true achievement of them all.

TOP, no. You are so right and so wrong.
Obama won't lose the nom, bullshit cowards will keep us all on tenterhooks for awhile but it will be OK.
Don't be angry, don't be mad or frustrated. We are winning. You are winning. We're amazing and so are you. We're all good and Barack Obama deserves our support, respect and affection. He just about demands it. I fight back my own hate every day because I know that isn't what I'm fighting for, I'm fighting for what I want not against what I don't want.
Give everyone some mojo and have some love for people who feel just as you do.

If Obama gets screwed by the superdelegates, he should just run on the Unity ticket with Bloomberg.
With his fundraising? The Unity party would overnight become a factor in the election.
I think this would be an appropriate response to the final corruption of the Democratic Party.
If this happened, I am pretty sure I could not vote for Hillary. I would likely withhold my vote.
