Rove Drinking the Kool-Aid, or is he?

The little troll is at it again. Sunday's Washington Post featured an article with the headline, "White House Upbeat About GOP Prospects. It goes on to say that Karl Rove and other Republican operatives working throughout the administration all believe that Republican majorities will be saved in both houses.

Of course this is contrary to many polls around the country. Granted that Democrats will need to "run the table" in the Senate races in play and even with the Foley scandal and public confidence in Congress at all-time lows, Democrats need 16 seats to take the House.

What is not written in the article but immediately came to my mind is why Rove is so confident. The puppet master of the 2000 and 2004 election steals certainly has something up his sleeve to staunch the Republican bleeding, we may just need to wait another month to see what it is.

And of course, the many papers reported today that GOP funds were being pulled out of Ohio and Republican Mike DeWine's efforts to keep his Senate seat have all but been given up by the establishment. But I am sure that Karl-baby is sure that Mike will pull it out in the end. Remember, its Ohio, remember 2004?
