Roving with Obama

If there's anyone Dems hate more than George Bush, it's Karl Rove. But he's a good analyst. And to hear Dems tell it, he's the brains, heart and guts of George W. Bush, who's just an empty cowboy hat who has managed to fool all of them, so maybe they ought to give him a listen.

“Instead of consistency, Mr. Obama has followed Richard Nixon's advice, to cater to his party's extreme in the primaries and then move aggressively to the middle for the fall.

In the primary, Mr. Obama supported pulling out of Iraq within 16 months, called the D.C. gun ban constitutional, backed the subjection of telecom companies to expensive lawsuits for cooperating in the terror surveillance program, opposed welfare reform, pledged to renegotiate Nafta, disavowed free trade and was strongly against the death penalty in all cases. But in the past few weeks, Mr. Obama has reversed course on all of these, discarding fringe liberal views for relentlessly centrist positions. He also flip-flopped on accepting public financing and condemning negative ads from third party groups, like unions.

By taking Nixon's advice, Mr. Obama is assuming such dramatic reversals will somehow avoid voter scrutiny. But people are watching closely, and by setting a world indoor record for jettisoning past positions, Mr. Obama may be risking his reputation for truthfulness. A candidate's credibility, once lost, is very hard to restore, regardless of how fine an organization he has built.”

Barack's Brilliant Ground Game Obama's been moving so quickly to the center, it's difficult for conservative bloggers to keep up, even if we know he'll change course once in office.

Karl Rove's Advice for Barack Obama

Democrats hate Karl Rove, but he's declared Obama the victor. And Dems do think he's the genius behind George Bush--that Bush is much too stupid to be president, or win reelection without Karl. So maybe they should pay attention to this genius pulling the strings for the last 8 years, putting words in his mouth and steel in his spine. He advises Obama to do nothing and say nothing that could appear he's pushing Hillary out of the race, because she's as good as gone. That shouldn't be hard. This man Obama does less and says less than any politician in my life time. Rove also says Obama is unbeatable in November, but also said in six months, everything could change.

If he's elected, I can only pray he continues on his path of doing and saying nothing.
