Karl Rove is still a fundraising draw deep in the heart of Texas. But you know what they say about familiarity breeding contempt:
“I think we actually like Karl a lot more now than we did when he was more active locally,” said Republican consultant Royal Masset.
Masset said there is a sense that Rove in Washington is remaining loyal to Bush while “fighting the good fight. He’s fighting budgets. He’s fighting wars. He’s doing conservative kinds of things.”
As a Texas consultant, Masset said, “There was a real sense of him being a total self-centered (person) who didn’t care about anybody. He would literally destroy people who tried to oppose him.”
