Focus on the Family may have been praying for real rain on Obama’s speech but the McCain campaign has created a media flood of speculation about his VP pick, making the focus of chatter on the morning talk shows NOT Obama’s speech but McCain’s pending VP announcement, effectively neutering any media momentum Obama’s speech was certain to generate.
Paul,
Speaking of Rove, have you ever looked into or have an opinion about the Don Seagalman matter and how Rove was involved with that? I hear a lot on the left and nothing on the right, I want to hear the matter from a right wing perspective because silence is not good.
In the post about it being a woman http://godandculture.wordpress.com/2008/08/29/its-looking-more-like-a-woman/#comments
I mentioned that Rove has his hand on that decision. It is brilliant, I would not want to play chess with Rove he knows when to make the right moves.
Paul, you misinterpret my comments, It is a brilliant move. I personally don’t like Rove but concede he is amazing at this stuff.
Why does it matter if Karl Rove had any influence on this decision? Even Democrat political strategists recognize Rove has one of the most savvy political strategists of our time. Rove’s connection with Bush only negates his influence with partisan poltitical operatives who are predisposed to hating GWB.
Not using Rove would be the equivalent of keeping your best relief pitcher in the bullpen while you lose a game in the late innings.
Again, this type of action has Rove’s name all over it.
