A genius? I suppose. He's mastered the art of dirty campaigning; his ability to use even the positive qualities of his opponents against them is almost unprecedented. During the 2000 Presidential primaries, he discovered that John McCain had adopted a Bangladeshi orphan. Rove used this as a basis for one of his famous "push-polls" where potential voters were asked the question, "If John McCain fathered a black daughter out of wedlock, would you be more likely to vote for Bush?"

Crafty sonofabitch. Nothing illegal about it, nothing that could technically be called a lie, but fuck if it isn't dirty as hell.
