Karl Rove Goes On Farewell Media Blitz
White House political adviser Karl Rove said Sunday he sees encouraging signs for the GOP in the public's strong negative opinions of Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton and the Democratic-run Congress.
"I do think the Republican Party is more in keeping with the attitudes and values of the American people," said President Bush's departing chief political strategist. Congress' approval in an Associated Press-Ipsos poll this month stood at 25 percent, compared with 35 percent for Bush.
The media will be tempted to pick "Bush's brain" for his views on the political horserace, on everything from the Democratic presidential candidates to Iraq to Bush's veto threats. But they shouldn't forget that Rove has yet to personally account for much of his sordid record in the White House.
