Karl Rove wants Rick Perry to lose

We wrote earlier about how Rick Perry was Karl Rove's discovery (the man does have an eye for talent). Rove recruited Perry to run against Jim Hightower for Texas Agriculture Commissioner. Perry won and the the rest is history.

We also know, though, that there is now considerable bad blood between the Bush Texans and Perry. This is also something to watch, for you inside-baseball fans.

Here's Ed Schultz from last week on just this subject. Skip to about 3:25 in the clip and listen to Karl Rove on Rick Perry. Then listen to James Moore (at 8:00 in the clip) on the same subject.



Moore puts it pretty simply: "What Karl's trying to do is to destroy Rick Perry."

Be sure not to miss the answer to "Does Rick Perry need Karl Rove?" at 10:10.

Moore stands by his prediction that Perry will win the nomination. He's the author of the book on Karl Rove, Bush's Brain, and knows whereof he speaks.
