Karl Rove hits Obama:
This criticism is of course dead on, but I wonder if that fact really matters here (or even if facts themselves matter)? Doesn't news coverage of Karl Rove attacking Obama just feed in to the perception that Obama is a clean break from the last eight years? Obama is an idea without substance. People who want to believe in him are going to believe in him regardless of well-marshaled arguments.
Trotting out Karl Rove to explain how to take him down just makes folks like the idea of Obama more because it reminds them of the bitter partisanship in Washington.
Meanwhile, we have Barack Obama out there extolling the virtues of Ronald Reagan. The contrast plays well for Obama.
