The architect, Karl Rove, caught up in double talk
I found this on YouTube last night and found it funny. Karl Rove, W's running buddy and tool for the last 8 years, is caught totally contradicting himself on Gubernatorial experience and being Vice President.
Compare what he said about Gov. Palin after she was selected:

And what he said about Obama just considering Gov. Tim Kaine of Virginia:

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? Micah 6:8 KJV
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3:2 KJV
Ferd?? You don't have any comments on Rove's attack of Governor Kaine's qualifications of being VP and his commendation of Gov. Sarah Palin's less qualified resume?

As for Rove being caught in double speak, who cares? Rove is out of the picture. His day is done. He did his job.
Not having the ability to watch youtube I cant comment directly on these videos however there is a point here that matters and may be what Rove was speaking to.
McCain picking a lesser experienced half term gov. isnt really a concern as the TICKET has plenty of experence.
on the other hand, Obama who has very little experience (some would argue less than Palin others would say slightly more than Palin), picking a half term Gov. would have been a fools errand. That scenario would put very little real experience on the TICKET. I am comfortable with McCain/Palin on experience because of McCain. While Obama/Biden isnt what I like politically, Biden at least gives some experience to the ticket to make it lagit.
Obama/Cane is a dissaster waiting to happen.

Yeah, I always like reading your stuff. I was following along pretty good until you said experience wasn't a concern on the McCain/Palin ticket. The guy is 72 years old and has a well documented history of major health problems. You lost me around that bend. You know I respect your opinion though.
When you get a chance to see the video's, you'll see why Rove looks bi polar. The very things he attacked Obama for, are the very reasons McCain picked Palin and he's in full support.
It's always fun to pick on a sleazy guy like Karl Rove.

Mike, I am sure this wont shock you at all. but i dont find Karl Rove sleazy at all. He is a political guy whos job is to identify ways to win in the political arena... and he is good at it.
sleazy? LOL! not at all.
and lets go down this road of McCain dying in office. lets even go so far as to suggest that McCain passes 15 minutes after being sworn in. (it has actually happened before you know).
Then what? well we have a president as experienced as we would had we elected Obama. The next question is who does Sara Palin nominate to be confirmed as VP by the Senate? THAT is the question. If she were to pick Bobby Jindal, we have a problem.
by the way, Bobby Jindal is my pick for president after Palin. I love that guy. he is awesome.
but, Sarah Palin, while being capable, would need to select someone with more experience.... And here is the point bro, there is a very deep bench of Republicans that would fit that bill.
Also note, that the long tradition in American government is that when a president passes, and the VP assumes the office, the VP then nominates someone who will be seen as very competant and qualified. Someone who provides stability (ie. Gerald Ford and Hubert Humphrey).
So while having a very experiened and old president with a less experiened VP doesnt bother me, having very little depth at both positions does bother me.
I really should spell check.
