Amazingly, Rove & Chum have been living on the remains of the Clinton Prosperity for nearly six years.... Whether the Clinton Prosperity can last through Dubya's second term is problematic. And;
With the help of the Bank of China--Greenspan has been able to extend his Bubblnomics far longer than any sensible person would have expected. (See The Conundrum).
Further, going with a Mass Liberal in 2004 was not exactly the Democrats shining moment either.
IN SHORT, I HAVE A MORE LOGICAL "EXPLANATION" FOR ROVE'S SO CALLED "GENIUS." I'D CALL IT "DUMB LUCK."
BUT LUCK RUNS OUT...AND SOONER OF LATER THE PUBLICS' STUPIDTY IS CURED BY THE INEVITABLE CONSQUENCES OF BAD POLICY....ECONOMIC AND GEOPOLITICAL DISASTERS LOOM EVEN NOW.
CALLING ROVE A GENIUS...IS WAY, WAY TOO PREMATURE...LET'S STICK WITH THE LUCK SCENARIO...IT'S FAR MORE LIKELY TO BE TRUE.
