Karl Rove is running for the hills.
There probably was no better sign of how far this White House has fallen than at the Iowa Straw Poll in Ames this weekend, a gathering of probably the most committed Republicans in the country. This was where Mr. Rove displayed his political skills to the country in 1999, steering Mr. Bush to a victory in a nonbinding poll that nonetheless cemented his position as his party’s prohibitive favorite.
Mr. Bush’s name was barely mentioned in Ames on Saturday, much less Mr. Rove’s. The winner of the contest, Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, offered a pretty grim verdict on the last seven years in Washington when he said, “If there has ever been a time that we needed to see change in Washington, it is now.”

The problem with Mitt's comment, of course, is that for most of the last seven years he was a loud cheerleader for the Bushies. It's amazing how they've suddenly developed a clear case of "oh maybe it wasn't great." Too bad that those who are now crying "hang him" spent six years singing hosannas.
Amen
