frontline: karl rove -- the architect: watch the full program online | PBS
Topic: Politics and Law 3:20 pm EDT, Apr 27, 2005

] After surviving one of the roughest presidential
] elections in modern times, President George W. Bush
] singled out one member of his team in particular, calling
] Karl Rove the campaign's "architect." But Rove, a
] longtime Bush adviser and confidant, is much more than a
] political guru, he is also the single most powerful --
] and ambitious -- policy adviser in the White House.
] (more) ยป

Yeah... watch it. The webbroadcast is slightly different from the version tivo got me. But if you don't mind here are some SPOILERS:

1) Karl is passionate about a perminent republican majority.
2) His major tactic is that he targets an opponent's strength rather than chipping away at his weaknesses.
3) He tries to frame issues around so called "Anger Points".
4) When all other tactics aren't working he hangs the word "gay" around his opponent.

The piece is great... probably the best post-election thing I've seen/read/talked about/blah blah blah. I don't think anyone can admire him for his methods, but I sure do envy the results.
