3. Think about who Rove is targeting
He's targeting women voters - the "security moms" who are vulnerable to manipulation.

Rove realizes Dems biggest weakness is in its abandonment of its base - women voters. The GOP has been successful in carving out large chunks of the women's vote with years of propaganda about terrorism. Why?

Because Dems have neglected women voters over the years - and still do. The party spends millions trying to register voters at the fringes of the party (and of society) and is even courting the NASCAR crowd, but they keep ignoring their base of women voters - sort of like pinching pennies while the dollars go rolling down the road.

Dems have even forgotten how to speak to issues important to women - even the GOP does a better job of putting women in elective office.

Until Dems realize their problem, Rove and the GOP will continue to eat their lunch.
