On Sunday it is expected that Saddam Hussein will be "convicted" for his crimes, although the trial carries little validity due to the massive government and US interference.
I would expect that Rove already has a massive PR program ready to announce 1.) how right the administration was in going after this man, and 2.) using the conviction to validate the war in Iraq.
It would be prudent to be prepared for the announcement, which will be timed 2 days before the election, and be ready to counter the claims that the Iraq war is justified by this conviction. Saddam Hussein may have killed thousands, but Bush has killed over 650,000 and is not done yet.
