GOP candidates to voters: We are not perverts and crooks! Yes, this is the 'winning' message that Karl Rove urges Republican candidates to convey to voters in 2008, reports Bob Novak.
Gosh, how ever will Democratic candidates compete?
Rove might want to consider amending his winning strategy to: We are not perverts and crooks and we are not incompetent fools either!
According to Robert Novak:
"Karl Rove, President Bush's political lieutenant told a closed-door meeting of 2008 Republican House candidates and their aides Tuesday that it was less the war in Iraq than corruption in Congress that caused their party's defeat in the 2006 elections,"
"Rove's clear advice to the candidates is to distance themselves from the culture of Washington. Specifically, Republican candidates are urged to make clear they have no connection with disgraced congressmen such as Duke Cunningham and Mark Foley. In effect, Rove was rebutting the complaint inside the party that Bush is responsible for Republican miseries by invading Iraq."
