Rove leaving is a non-story

[AValdoux]

Did anyone think Rove wasn't going to be running the 2006 mid-term elections? That is what he does. To say this is a "shake-up" is a smoke screen. Rove's main function is & has been running campaigns. His "job" at the White House was to manage Bush so he didn't do too much damage to the GOP majority in Congress. He did manage to hold on to the "Base 30%".

1. His job is to orchestrate the theft

of as many positions as possible. It's probably marginally harder to do that from within the WH.

2. Are you positive he isn't going to be going on trial?

He might you know. He is in charge of dirty tricks as confirmed by bush.

3. Yeah, Rove could be positioning himself a step away from Bush

so that if and when Fitzie fingers him, it won't look a completely crappily corrupt and treasonous as it really is.

4. Holding on the base 30%

is like making sure that water stays wet.
