Poll question: Will Rove's re-assignment to focus on 06 elections help or hurt Repugs?

1. His focus has been, is, and will be...

...politics. Any policy influence he had was in the context of the political spoils to be gained from those policies.

2. It can help, if we are honest and open with the public about how ...

he operates.

3. Dean should run with the move

The republicans are so desperate to win elections they have to rely on a man like karl rove whose whole life has been devoted to trashing opponents, lying and tuning up the swiftboats, not to mention forging documents and orchestrating whispering campaigns. The dems will be on the offensive in 06 and 08 and rove will get his ass kicked. Those who have been trashed in years past have had enough. Hopefully this not just wishful thinking on my part.

4. People are onto this administration's dirty business. No turning back.

Rove's dirty tactics will only further enhance the people's growing irritation.

6. It'll hurt, because now every Dem can run against Bush

as well as their opponent.

7. I think Rove will be indicted. Soon. It's ease-him-out time........

8. I completely agree!!

I think that they know he is going to be indicted on something and they are trying to distance him from the inner circle of the White House.

9. We'll be drinking champagne soon! I can feel it! n/t

Yes, distance. They don't want it to look like a crook is whispering policy directly in bush's ear.

10. It's been looking so bad for the GOP lately.

I'm not shedding a tear at all!

If gas goes to $4.00+ a gallon this summer, trying to salvage the Republican party is going to be like trying to save the Titanic with a 5-gallon bucket.
