A Potentially Fatal Flaw?

I've always thought that Karl Rove, though an evil genius, has shown one fatal flaw over and over: hubris. Rove sent Bush into California late in 2000, said that Bush would get over 320 electoral votes, and Bush took a day off during the last week of the campaign. If Rove had concentrated on Florida, rather than making sojourns into a state that was clearly lost, maybe his candidate might actually have won.

I think the same can be said of Bush's trip to New Jersey yesterday. I know, some polls have shown it to be tight. But this Rutgers poll shows Kerry way ahead again, by at least 10 points, making a Bush stop in Wisconsin or Ohio or Florida much more valuable. But I suspect Rove can't resist the opportunity to pull away a big blue state like Jersey. Let's hope he continues to think that way.
