Karl Rove must be slipping, accidentally reveals PowerPoint presentation that shows GOP weaknesses
Edited on Mon Apr-09-07 02:52 PM by ck4829
But it's from NewsMax though, so believe it if you want to.

"The man President George W. Bush has called "the architect" for his ability to plan political victories has revealed his early take on the 2008 elections - and the outlook isn't pretty for Illinois Republicans.

In a PowerPoint presentation unintentionally released to the public, White House adviser Karl Rove predicted Republicans won't be able to unseat Sen. Dick Durbin, the Senate's second-highest ranking Democrat.

No Illinois House members made Rove's list of the 20 most vulnerable Democratic incumbents. But three Illinois Republicans are on his list of seats the GOP must work hardest to protect: freshman Rep. Peter Roskam, who narrowly defeated Iraq war veteran Tammy Duckworth; Rep. Mark Kirk, a six-year House veteran; and former House Speaker Denny Hastert, who may not seek re-election.

The assessment - posted on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Web site after being obtained as part of an investigation of a briefing by a Rove aide - has drawn cheers from Democrats and skepticism from Illinois Republicans."

1. MC Rove "leaked" this? Bullshit.
His leaks are all intentional.

2. This is the PowerPoint presentation that came out a couple of weeks ago
during Lurita Doan's testimony in front of Waxman's committee. She's the administrator of the GSA.

4. Rove just wants Dems to concentrate money in certain districts
so he is "leaking" where he believe the GOP may be weak.

6. He didn't leak it
His little aide Kyle Sampson, totally presented it to Lurita Doan and the GSA. It's evidence. :)
