McCain Embraces Rove

Karl Rove last week announced that he had given $2300 to the presumptive GOP presidential nominee John McCain.

Asked over the weekend about the donation, McCain said he has "always respected Karl Rove as one of the smart great political minds I think in American politics," and specifically refused to condemn Rove's hyper-partisan campaign tactics (including his smears against McCain in the 2000 South Carolina race).

1. Rove masterminded the "black baby" smears against McCain, as well...
as the "terrible temper/unstable" smears.

This may hurt McCain more than help him. I believe that Rove is almost universally loathed by Democrats and Republicans.

3. I do agree that this could hurt McCain. Not only is Rove loathed, but
McCain looks like he will compromise any last vestige of morality he might have to win the nomination.

It's sad.

2. His smears against McCain in SC 2000 involved McCain's DAUGHTER
It's despicable for McCain to cuddle up to Bush (and Rove) in 2004. And now he's "embracing" Rove. Typical for the "Maverick."
