'''Karl Rove''' (born December 25, 1950) was the leading architect behind the ultimately unsuccessful [[George W. Bush Administration]], and the loss of [[Republican]] control of [[Congress]] in 2006. [[Robert Novak]] observed that Rove had become "part of the problem" hindering the Republican Party.  He did nothing to avert the disastrous wipe-out of Republicans in the 2008 election.

'''Karl Rove''' (born December 25, 1950) is a has-been known for losing the [[Congress]] to a [[Democrat]] takeover in 2006 and pursuing policies that resulted in the [[Republican Party]] to suffer landslide defeats in the 2008 elections. For an encore, perhaps to cater to socially liberal donors to his [[Super PAC]], in August 2012 Rove made vicious remarks against [[conservative]] [[Todd Akin]] in an unsuccessful attempt to force him to give up his nomination for the [[U.S. Senate]].

 

[[Robert Novak]] famously observed that Rove had become "part of the problem" as he was hurting the Republican Party towards the end of the [[George W. Bush Administration]].

By 2012, Rove had reinvented himself with funding by [[Las Vegas]] casino billionaires for Rove's [[Super PAC]], [[American Crossroads]].  Rove married for the third time and was flown on his honeymoon in a private jet owned by a [[Las Vegas]] casino mogul.

[[Liberal]] [[Newsweek]], the [[Wall Street Journal]], and [[Fox News Channel|Fox News]] promote Rove heavily, although it is unclear his political advice and the ads run by his [[American Crossroads]] is having any positive effect.
