Rovian Politics: Alive and Well!

The Huffington Post's own Ariana Huffington had the audacity to write a column on Tuesday entitled "The Internet and the Death of Rovian Politics." Nothing could be further from the truth as Rovian Politics and Karl Rove himself are very much alive (though in the latter's case, with the assistance of blood thinners and a machine for his sleep apnea). KARL ROVE DAILY FACTS! has looked high and far in our search of the perfect example of Rovian politics at it's best. We found it, with a steady pulse, at the forefront of a heated election- the race for Student Council President at Brunswick Acres elementary school in South Brunswick, NJ.

Newcomer Randy Wilson (3rd grade, Mrs. Pollard's class) is well-liked amongst the K-3 set, but incumbent Brant Walker (6th grade, Ms. Sweeney's class) has enjoyed the support of 4th-6th graders, playing the experience card and questions of Mr. Wilson's character. Behind Wilson's campaign is Rove disciple Eddie Baines, or as Walker calls him, Stinky. Baines has been hard at work, spreading rumors that range from Wilson palling around with bullies (going as far as to calling him a close associate of The Gooch) to a good old-fashioned coodies allegation. Wilson has vehemently denied both but the damage might already be done. The lunch crowds have not been kind to the third grader and many now refer to him as "Brandy Wilson."

Huffington, KARL ROVE DAILY FACTS! is calling you out! Rovian politics is very much alive. Next time, do your homework!
