OK, I'll bite. Like you, I've followed Karl Rove's career, at least the one that started with the Bush for president campaign up until this morning when he announced he's leaving. And the pundits have -- perhaps correctly , perhaps not -- pointed out that he's such a genius, he cannot possibly be replaced.
But why is he considered a genius?
The Bush presidency, I think it's safe to say although I realize many will disagree, is one that America survived (so far) more than embraced. And Karl Rove is the architect of that presidency.
