Rove: We Want to Help
Thursday, 10. August 2006, 07:47:32
Classy gesture of support for a former opponent?
A president reaching across the aisle to help an important ally?
Machiavellian machinations by the evil Sith Rove?
It's a tough call! If it was Bush's idea, I would say it was a gesture of support for a Democratic ally on the Iraq War. If it was Rove's idea, then who the hell knows what the real goal is? Maybe ngineering a Lieberman loss to ensure a move to the far-Left fringe by the Democrats, guaranteeing 20 more years of GOP dominance? Maybe setting off a chain of events ending with an extra slice of tomato on his Whopper?
Update: Joe's campaign now denies this...so he won't alienate the Democrats he needs to win as an Independent. The truth is out there, we just need to uncover the dark conspirators who hide it from us.
Or maybe George got the story wrong in the first place.
Update: Breaking down the numbers: Lamont got the support 7.7% of voters in the state.
Update: Michael Moore, hyped up on Ding Dongs and Snickers, threatens to purge the Democratic Party of everyone who does not meet his definition of purity. Now that is how you build a broad coalition that wins elections!
As the wife says, "he is an idyut."
Update: The Bush candidate got 48% of the Democratic vote! Via Instapundit.

According to a close Lieberman adviser, the President's political guru, Karl Rove, has reached out to the Lieberman camp with a message straight from the Oval Office: "The boss wants to help. Whatever we can do, we will do."....
The White House might help Lieberman by putting the kibosh on any move to replace the weak Republican candidate, Alan Schlesinger, with a stronger candidate.
And it might be able to convince Schlesinger to drop out of the race and endorse Lieberman in the final week or two, when it's too late for another candidate to fill the GOP slot. A quiet White House effort to steer some money in Lieberman's direction is another possibility.
