#1 "A linchpin of Democrats' strategy is to use Karl Rove as the "strawman" to attack the President. They will paint Rove as being behind every strategic decision from federal offices down to city councils"

kinda like what the GOP did with Carville. And now the dems are blocking judicial nominations!! Bunch a damned plagiarists, you ask me. Cant they come up with something original instead of always copying the GOP?

#3 Ah-HA!!! It's not the Evil Bush! It's the Even More Evil Rove!
As far as Carville goes? He looks more inbred then a Saudi Arabian Hillbilly. And he is, indeed, Satan.

#8 O.K. back to the original message. Look for the Democrats to use Karl Rove as part of their campaigns. The thing is that Rove doesn't look the party of the villianous marionette master and from what I read he's actually quite personable and likeable.

#9 Some local background for you all - I live in the district in question.

The redistricting is long past due.

The legislature was obligated to do the redistricting after the census by the state constitution. The Democrats abdicted their responsiblity when they held a 1 vote majority in the state Senate over the past 2 years - mainly in opposition to the Republican house and their plan (which is the one that got passed yesterday). Theu preferring to get their plan instated by judicial fiat of the courts instead of fair voting. They got a liberal judge in Denver who only slightly modified the Democrat plan that makes the 7th Congressional District run along the interstate for 15 miles, then take in urban west Denver neighborhoods.

Why did the judge allow that "gerrmander"? Not to produce representative government or a representative district, but to deliberately and artificially produce an "evenly split" district for the reason of "competitive elections".

Nevermind that the suburban technological area southeast, nor the new businesses near the airport, and the farms out east of there are over 30 minutes wway from the parts of other counties he gerrmandered by way of a 7-8 mile long, 120 foot wide unpopulated swath of elevated interstate. And nevermind that the area he was adding is almost completely unionized blue-collar urban areas to the west of Denver with few concerns that are mutual with the eastern counties where I live. The judge and Dems ignored all that and said they wanted to produce a given outcome ("balanced" 34-33-33 Dem-Repub-Indep) - which they got surprised when a republican won this district.

The judge ignored that the farmers out to the east get shortchanged - urban issues get carried, while things like drought and water rights sit. Heavy industry comes to the forefront instead of things like tax breaks for tech industry that we have here to the east. The very large "Federal Center" was gerrmandered in, meaning those unionized federal employees get more attention than almost the same number of airport and telecom employees.

There is really very little in common between the parts of Jefferson County/lakewood that the judge grafted onto suburban Aurora and the eastern plains of Arapahoe county.

The new districts made mostly of eastern counties just make more sense, having more in common than the old gerrmandered split system did.

Don't let the press get away with lying to you.
