David Broder cautions Karl Rove on being too accessible to the journalists and biographers.
Rove is at the point where a single leaked memo showing his hand in a controversial presidential action could make him vulnerable. And if that happens, it won't be the president who has to step aside.Rove should be well aware of the need to appear to be advising and not directing, if his political acumen is as good as advertised. However, I still can't get past the notion that Rove couldn't orchestrate a popular vote plurality. Had Bush lost that 500 vote lead in Florida, history's estimation of Rove would be 180 degrees from where it is now.
