Frist is a terrible politician
My god...Frist steps in Political shit puddles every time. Jesus. Why Rove wanted Frist instead of Lott is beyond me.

1. you're right - he makes Lott look like LBJ
and Lott was pretty bad as a tactician but Frist is just awful. you really wonder how he thinks he can be president.

my opinion of rove is that he's no genius. the media cushion that the gop has built for itself makes things a lot easier for them.

2. I agree
Rove is good for Marketing campaigns or what people call elections but outside of Marketing....Rove is terrible.

3. electing gopers in tex and the south doesn't make you a genius
and isn't that what rove has accomplished? i hate to harp on the media thing but these guys can fuck up big time and still a get a decent press. clinton would be in leg irons by now if he did the crap that bush has done.

8. I totally agree about Rove.
He's not a genius. Manipulating people when you have the entire corporate media on your side, reporting verbatim whatever you say, is easy. I think it's starting to show now that the media isn't quite at complicit (i.e. they've realize that the American people are waking up and are afraid they're going to get tossed out with *co).

And Frist ... keep him talking. I think he's got it in him to single-handedly destroy the entire Repub party. It'll be a race between Cheney, * himself, and Frist, if you ask me. :)

9. He's great at shit-slinging. On the inspirational front, not so much.
And on policy, forget it.

6. everyone knew the cat killer
was not up to the task but they couldn`t stand lot cause he wasn`t a pretty boy they could run in 2008. rove got away with doing all this bullshit for so long he thought this master plan would never fail but now it has. the republicans have absolutely no one to run for president in 2008 that doesn`t have the smell of rove on them....
