Hello,
Karl is at it again. In his early career, back in Texas, Rove set out to displace a juvenile court judge who was up for re-election. The judge had been photographed with his arm around a young offender. Rove saw his chance in that photograph, asserting that the judge "just might" be sweet on young boys. His followers ran with it in their campaign adds and the judge was not re-elected.
The strategy works and Rove is a master at it. The man has no conscience, but he does have his followers.
