Rove: How to beat Hillary and Obama

Yes, it can be done. The Republicans can (and in my opinion, should) win the White House again.

How? Ask Karl Rove.

Yesterday Rove hit Hillary Rodham Clinton hard on her notorious driver's-licences-for-illegals debate answer(s), her fiscal irresponsibility, and her desire to repeal the Bush tax cuts.

From The Hill:

The Bush confidant also trotted out one of the lines of attack the RNC has already been working feverishly against Clinton, questioning why she and former President Bill Clinton will not release records from their time in the White House. This, according to Rove, "raises legitimate questions about what she’s hiding."

Rove made it clear that most Republican attacks on Obama would focus on his "accomplishments and experience."

"He got elected three years ago, and he [has] spent almost the entire time running for president," Rove said.

Rove added that Obama has only passed one piece of legislation during his time in the U.S. Senate, and during his time in Illinois state Senate, Obama had "an unusual habit" of voting "present" instead of yes or no.

That was the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006, better known as the "Google for Internet" law, that makes it easier for ordinary citizens to track where federal dollars go.
Rove thinks Obama is more liberal than Clinton, which he believes is "pretty hard to do."

But the bedrock issue for the Republican Party, and I agree with him, is national security.
