Karl Rove’s PowerPoint on John Sununu

Boy, the news for John Sununu just keeps getting worse!

The Washington Post reports, that in a January 26 Jan. videoconference, Karl Rove deputy J. Scott Jennings, directed to the chief of the GSA and as many as 40 agency officials stationed around the country listing the names of Democratic candidates considered beatable and Republican lawmakers thought to need help.

Such a blatant political presentation to government staffers and using government resources may have been illegal.

But because congress is now investigating the propriety of such behavior we now have access to thinking current thinking of George Bush’s Brain and his most influential political advisor: a one Mr. Karl Rove.

The Congressional committee investigating this monkey business has released Karl Rove’s PowerPoint slides. A map from Rove’s slideshow clearly shows Senator John Sununu of New Hampshire one of the eight Republican Senators who will be on the “defense” in their re-election bids for 2008.

It gets even worse for Senator Sununu. Yesterday, the American Research Group released a poll showing John Sununu trailing former Governor Jeanne Shaheen in a re-election match-up.

The following results are based on 551 completed telephone interviews among a statewide random sample of registered voters in New Hampshire.

Question wording and responses: “If the 2008 election for US Senate were being held today between Jeanne Shaheen, the Democrat, and John Sununu, the Republican, for whom would you vote - Shaheen or Sununu?” (names rotated)

2008 US Senate	Shaheen	Sununu	Undecided
All voters	44%	34%	22%
Republicans	17%	67%	16%
Democrats	92%	1%	7%
Undeclared	32%	32%	36%
Oct 2002	43%	51%	6%

It may just be over before it starts for Mr. Sununu.

   [...] Dean, Sununu is not only trailing Jean Shaheen by 10 points (who is not even running) but even Karl Rove has labeled Sununu one of 8 Republican Senators in a “defense” position for 2008. http://blog.nodvin.n... [...]
