....Mr. Rove helped to give Mr. Bush a winning strategy, first guiding him to the governor’s seat in Texas, then to the White House. Mr. Bush brought Mr. Rove along on a remarkable journey to the pinnacle of the political world. They have won every election they have taken on together.

Mr. Bush, who is more involved in the nitty-gritty of politics than he lets on publicly, gave Mr. Rove the clearance to run the White House midterm elections plan according to his standard playbook, even as other Republicans began to question Mr. Rove’s reputation for strategic brilliance and detach themselves from Mr. Bush and the Iraq war.

This year has not been easy on the two men, but in public at least, Mr. Bush and Mr. Rove usually seem to be enjoying themselves. In the campaign’s waning days, Mr. Rove emerged as the campaign jester of Air Force One, a role he has taken on in all of Mr. Bush’s big campaigns.

On almost every leg of every trip, Mr. Rove appeared before the traveling group of journalists to alternately tease them or flatter them, all the while spinning scenarios pointing to yet another Republican victory in the face of forecasts to the contrary.

Thus, there last week was the man Mr. Bush calls “the architect” — and some liberal bloggers call an evil genius — walking into the Air Force One press cabin to distribute chocolate-covered caramels to the traveling reporters. His prediction for Election Day: “Victory, victory, victory.”

I'm just hoping that the old adage runs true: The bigger they are (evil genius :wtf:) the harder they fall. :hi:

6. What's with his hair?

Looks like he's being sucked up by the Mother Ship. What a freak and good riddance to their election-stealing partnership.
