Bush's brain stroke again

Bush's senior adviser Karl Rove - the mastermind behind his re-election campaign 'was behind the risky tactic of essentially ignoring undecided voters to concentrate on motivating the president's base - socially conservative Republicans,' Scripps Howard News Service reports. "It was Rove who developed 'The Final Five Days,' a plan to unleash a flood of Bush volunteers in the election's closing hours and contact every identified potential supporter in the campaign's massive database. It was this get-out-the-vote effort, the most ambitious in GOP history, that swung the balance in Bush's favor." Furthermore, it was Rove who "early on determined that the best way to defeat the Massachusetts senator, or any other Democrat, was to lacerate the other guy until he was no longer perceived as a credible option." Plus: The highly praised documentary Bush's brain gives a great insight in Rove's world. Watch it!
