I think the logical candidate would be Romney, that ticking-time-bomb-carbon-copy-of-Bush. Oh boy, wouldn't that be scary.

Oh I forget how Matthews is an NBC expert. Judging how NBC is moving people out and around I'd keep my mouth shut if I were in his shoes. I'm sure everyone at NBC knows how even the famed Meet The Press was used by the crooked administration and need to be thinking of making some kind of change to the long running program. It's to bad that CNN isn't seen on a wider base because I'm sure that their Sunday morning program would cut into NBC just as Lou Dobbs does during the week. Wolf, Lou then PBS news hour is all Americans with open minds need. After that find a movie and fall asleep.

His usefulness as a purely political animal in getting people elected is basically over, being that no one in the bush administration is running it could be that he's going to become the Grand Yoda for the 08' election. After all they're still putting together the theft of the 08' elections and it would take someone of rove's talents to get any one of the sorry-ass candidates the Repukes have running elected. I don't know what it is that they're up to, but I'd bet the bank it isn't good. The fact that it will make it harder from him to invoke EP doesn't mean he won't or that even if he were convicted for anyone of the numerous crimes he should be convicted of also doesn't mean bush wouldn't pardon him.
