Political Tidbit

What is Karl Rove's angle? He has 'advice' for Barack in a Newsweek piece. Suggestions: step back above politics, work more in the Senate to show your commitment to substance, and focus on the general.

Like most of Rove's private sector analysis, it has been direct, astute, and seemingly correct. But I, and I imagine most dems, can't help but ask, "This is one of the sophisticated political animals on the Republican side. He is still intertwined with his party's interests, so this can't be for the good of the Obama campaign. What advantage would McCain get if Obama did every one of these things? Or is Rove giving the good advice knowing that Obama can't do it because of whence it comes? Or are we just being paranoid?"

You're just being paranoid. One of the currently common left-wing mistakes is to discount a good idea just because a Republican came up with it...
