You don't get much more "establishment" than Rove.<br /><br />So yeah, it's a gaffe, like Marie Antoinette's purported "Let them eat cake". Hut she was in a whole world of trouble before she ever said it (assuming she even did). Rove's in precisely the same position.Borepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029434172945099693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-68763717999903885482010-09-16T17:21:41.818-04:002010-09-16T17:21:41.818-04:00I heard Rush talking about this today.

They are hired to get the independent swing voter to turn the election to their side. They'll get their candidate to say anything to get elected. Just conservative enough to hold the base but just liberal enough to pull in that (so-called) independent voter.<br /><br />Rush said he doesn't care about what Rove says at this point. Rush thinks we need to send a message and I agree.Rouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12459659398010937497noreply@blogger.com
