Bloomberg Businessweek http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-07-26/karl-rove-hes-back-big-time has a must-read cover story on Karl Rove "and how he is holding the reins of the GOP's destiny and redefining the business of political finance."
The piece looks at the creation of his Crossroads political action committees, their top contributors, how they raised $71 million in their rookie election cycle (and tallied a 16-14 record in the 30 2010 senate races they joined), how they are now poised to spend double the amount of the Democrats in the 2012 presidential election, and their focus on getting independents to vote for Mitt Romney.
