The Math’ According to Karl Rove

'The Math' According to Karl Rove

Bush never pays attention to polls, right. That's why Rove has come up with “The Math.” Not just math, but THE math.

It's Rove's math, but it's worse. You will not doubt Bush's brain.

It's a racist ad, but worse.

It goes from Rove to George Allen to Corker and beyond, hitting Democrats again and again and
agin. It is nothing new. It's just this time we're prepared.

The “newest” name, though he's hardly new is Steve
Howell
and he has one goal: winning. Okay. But it doesn't matter how it's done.

From Lee Atwater to Rove to Howell, the dirt gets passed down and there is not limit to the smut.


Howell is no stranger to controversy. He was media consultant for Sen. Saxby
Chambliss when his campaign ran an ad showing a picture of then-Democratic
Sen. Max Cleland, who lost his legs in the Vietnam War, alongside Osama Bin
Laden and Saddam Hussein.

He also produced an ad for Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn that accused Democrat
Brad Carson of being soft on welfare while showing two black hands counting
cash.

Howell also worked for Republican Jerry Kilgore in last year's Virginia gubernatorial
race when Kilgore ran an ad saying that Gov. Tim Kaine wouldn't have used
the death penalty against Hitler.

Race was always an element of the Tennessee contest as Ford seeks to become
the first black man elected to the Senate from the South since Reconstruction.
The issue slammed into the public consciousness this week with the latest
ad.

“I've not met any observer who didn't immediately say, 'Oh my gosh!'
It was a race card,” said Vanderbilt University professor John Geer,
an expert on political attack ads. …

Rove
Protege Behind Racy Tennessee Ad

Buckle up, my friends, it's only going to get worse from here.

Is that possible?

We should have known after we saw the Ford ad. It's vintage Rove. It's trash. It's about the last 72 hours of the campaign season. Rest up. Get ready. GOTV.
