This was one of the hypocritical themes used by Rove against
Gore. Gore ran a populist campaign, which was characterized as
divisive by Rove. Rove made Bush to be a unifying "hero" above politics. Ironic, since Republican party operatives contributed
greatly to the partisan divide they were railing against by their anti-Clinton behavior.

I think it's time to finally call them on it. Can it be used against them? How can it be done?

1. Dean has already used this line in one of his stump speeches.

2. I believe one of Rove's themes will be to paint the nominee as a divider.
Believe it or not, my guess it that
they will use this theme again against
the nominee. Every criticism against
Bush will be used to paint the nominee as
a divider.

This is one way that Rove will use
our candidate's own strengths against them.
