By his own account, Rove's sights are set even further into the future than Bush's re-election. He has spoken about strategic shifts of power that happen every so often in American history. The precedent he often refers to was set over a century ago by William McKinley, another Republican with brilliant advisers, who narrowly defeated a populist Democrat (William Jennings Bryan) in 1896 and established a Republican hegemony that lasted more than three decades. The Republicans now control the presidency, the senate, and the house of representatives. Rove's task now is to consolidate that dominance of the White House and Capitol Hill and then use it to recast the Washington's third source of power, the supreme court, from its current cautious conservatism to a more red-blooded Republicanism. To achieve that, Rove has to win the November elections for the Republicans. They have all the advantages of incumbency, but there is disillusion in the air over unemployment and the Iraq war, and a newly united Democratic party behind Kerry is making inroads in the polls. On the other hand, the Republicans have Rove, to whom no other campaign strategist comes close. guardian.co.uk

"Start an unwinnable war and run as a war president. Your opponent, whoever he is, absolutely CANNOT state the truth (that the war is unwinnable), because the American people will not vote for a guy who is saying we will lose for certain" The majority of our countrymen are superficial idiots, and as you and others say, let not the red states mourn their kid's lives wasted on this stupid Vietnam. It's too late for them to make the right choice. Sadistic joy in watching Bush at future press conferences. He'll duck as much as he can, but eventually he has to answer questions. Sioux
