Your statement, however internally contradictory it is, is still fairly astute. The internal contradictions: Statement 1: If Karl Rove thought there were (should be was) any merit in this, he would be endorsing this book. Statement 2: I think they are going to stay clear of this book. Statement 3. That (staying clear) is probably a smart them for them (Rove?) to do. Your statements taken together either mean: 1. Rove is not endorsing the book because he does not think there is any merit to it. (or) 2. Rove sees merit to the book but is clever enough of a politician to stay clear of it. (or) 3. Rove, knowing that the book has political legs of its own and does not need him to push it along, wisely decides to remain above the fray. By endorsing the book, Rove would lessen its political impact. By remaining above the fray, Rove and the Republicans can enjoy watching Kerry twist painfully in the wind, hanging from that self-selected noose which he (Kerry) so carefully constructed. As you concluded, Mary: ". . .a smart thing to do." Also politically brilliant.
