An increasing number of House Republican members are urging President Bush to keep Karl Rove out of the driver's seat in the 2006 congressional campaign.

GOP sources said House members have argued that Mr. Rove, White House deputy chief of staff and powerful Bush political adviser, is hampering what they believe could represent a comeback effort to retain control of Congress. The sources said Mr. Rove has been high-handed and out of touch with the interests of Republican constituents.

"There's been increasingly greater ego and less substance in this man," a senior GOP source said. "He's caused so much needless friction between the president and Congress."

6. Well, Now It's Bigger Than Alaska!

The other thing people have discovered is that Rove knows nothing but political campaigns. The ideas from the White House are not resonating with the people. So, the whole approach has been to anger Congress and still get nothing done, because his ability to gauge the needs of the people is zero! He knows how to fool them. He doesn't know how to work for them.

At some point, the Repubs in office realized that this guy is an albatross around their necks. He got Silverspoon elected twice, but he's really not good at anything else.
