What Rove Does

Digby excerpts a chilling Atlantic piece from the 2004 election, describing how Karl Rove quite literally stole a close election for Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice back in 1994. Digby also talks about Rove’s probable intent to use bogus accusations of voter fraud to suppress votes and steal close elections in 2006 (and probably 2008). Now that’s chutzpah.

This is why I want Rove gone so badly. It’s bad enough that he’s reduced politics to its basest, most manipulative form, but he’s not content to just game the voters – he has to game the votes themselves as well. He is a liar and a cheat who has done incalculable damage to our Democratic process, but as long as his skills are valuable, even necessary, to Bush and the GOP, they will pull out all the stops to keep him in the game for 2008. Ignore subpoenas? You bet. Constitutional crisis? Bring it on.
