ROVE take pre-emptive credit for Obama win (LOL)
IF Barack Obama wins the presidential election, it will be because he has beaten the Republicans at their own game, according to Karl Rove, the "architect" of George W. Bush's two victories.

The Democrats have copied Rove's formidable tactics and ground operation, pumping out a disciplined message, assembling a broad-based coalition that includes young first-time voters and African-Americans and drowning their Republican opponents with money.

"I've got to tell you, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," Rove said in an interview. "I can say, I'm deeply flattered."

Rove recalled how Obama's campaign manager, David Plouffe, outlined their electoral strategy at the Democratic convention in August: "He explicitly said we have deliberately copied the army of persuasion of the Republicans."

3. Dean Axelrod Ploughe etc.
Obama's campaign will be written about for decades and IT is the new model not Rove's vote stealing operation.

5. Yes - Obama's campaign team deserves a lion's share of credit, too.

6. Obama started a wispering campaign about McCain embezzling funds?
Or Sarah Palin having a pasture colt?

I think I missed those stories.

8. Wrong, KKKarl.
Your dirty tricks, like that loser Michelle Bachmann's calling Obama anti-American, have finally backfired on you.

Plus, Democrats don't try to suppress the vote. And we don't lie about our opponents, or smear them with dirty tricks.

10. Sorry, KKKarl, but you did not win 2000 and 2004. You just cheated
with impunity. Your day will come!

If Rove flatters him self too much, he will go blind.

12. Only without the lies.
And the cheating.

And the politics of fear.

And the cheap Parlockian stunts.

Other than all that, yeah. :sarcasm:

14. Just thought of somethin ... Obama should contact Rove and say that he will
"forgive" (or something like a pardon) Rove's "indiscretions"/criminalities ...

and then, when Rove somehow announces it, say that Rove lied his ass off ...
