Karl Soon to Rove?
According to Think Progress there may be another casualty of the 2006 elections as the White House may be considering some elective 'brain' surgery:
I'm with Creature on this one, I'll believe when I see it. I for one won't be sorry to see Karl go. He has presided over probably one of the most divisive eras in US politics. From the rumors that John McCain had an illegitimate black child during 2000 to the President all but claiming that a vote for Democrats was a vote for the terrorists, all were strings which dangled from the Rovian hand.
Sadly, even this departure would not be the end. So long as ugly mudslinging like that which we saw this campaign season is tolerated, there will also be room for Karl's brand of 'old style' politics.
The rumors that chief White House political architect Karl Rove will leave sometime next year are being bolstered with new insider reports that his partisan style is a hurdle to President Bush’s new push for bipartisanship. “Karl represents the old style and he’s got to go if the Democrats are going to believe Bush’s talk of getting along,” said a key Bush advisor."
