Poll question: Who was worse: Lee Atwater or Karl Rove

Two of the most disgusting vile forms of humananity I can think of and both who sunk to new lows in order to get their grimy repuke bosses elected (selected) and president. Atwater worked on Reagan's campaign and Rove we all know too well today.

Who is the worse of the two?

1. I posted this awhile ago - Does Rove

Ever wake up in the night in a cold sweat thinking of Atwater? I'm even more curious now...

2. Would you rather be shot or stabbed?

It's a tough question.

3. Atwater was despicable

But he's dead now. And he's passed the torch of mob-o-cratic smear politics to his proven successor. Karl seems much, much worse than Atwater.

4. And at least Atwater expressed remorse at what he did.

Rove seems too evil to ever have such a reckoning.

5. Would there have been a Rove if it wasn't for Atwater?

I mean, I've heard Rove has always been this vile even before starting in politics, but Atwater is the godfather of smear campaign. Atwater went where no other campaign strategist dare go before him. Even though Atwater confessed his regrets at the end of his life, if he had never gone there in the first place.....
