Karl Rove and His Sixty-Plus Opinion Polls

I heard that too, what a putz!

I believe that Rove has access to sixty or more public opinion polls--but so does the public.

For example, each of my local newspapers team with a local college and conduct telephone surveys among local voters.

In the PA senate race, the incumbent, Santorum, (R) is trailing Casey (D) by 5% to 7%.

These local polls determine how much national money is funneled to which local candidates.

I heard the interview and Rove came across as a petulant autocrat hinting that he had information that was not available to the uninformed masses.

Not only that, but Karl Rove has other 'secret weapons'.

They're called Democrats.

Remember, Karl Rove is trying to rally the Republicans while not giving aid and comfort to the Democrats.

Attitude is all.

Laying low, JW does a sneak and pee.

Over-arching truth: there is no circumstance where rove would publicly speak any differently than "we'll win" and "things are looking good". None.


His operation puts a lot of money into polling and he will definitely have access to polling results which are the product of his operation which will not be shared if that seems to his advantage.

How funny is it that rove would suggest that the poll results noted by the NPR reporter are influenced by political bias? Of course, the contrast suggested is that rove's are not. Those are objective.

So much for Karl Rove and his sixty-eight opinion polls.

Worked like a real charm too, huh?
