Here's the real meaning of the White House shake-up and the
redefinition of Karl Rove's role in the Bush presidency: The
administration's one and only domestic priority in 2006 is hanging on
to control of Congress.
That, in turn, means that all the spin about Rove's power being
diminished is simply wrong. Yes, Rove is giving up some policy
responsibilities to concentrate on politics, but guess what: The
possibility of President Bush's winning enactment of any major new
policy initiative this year is zero. Rove is simply moving to where all
the action will, of necessity, be.
