Poll question: Is Rove done?
That is to say, will Rove now be convicted of a felony over this Plame affair? Perjury, outing an undercover agent, some other felony?

And thus be fired?

2. Uh,....
No. ROve is too crooked to be caught or convicted. Lets not forget The Bush cartel is above the law. While its nice to fantasize, in the real world we all know Rove gets away with whatever he wants

3. The whole media is saying he did it.
We know he did it.

Can everyone know he did it and yet he still gets away with it?

17. Can he get away with it? Oh hell yes.
Karl Rove is about as close to a master of the dark arts as you can get without starring in a Harry Potter movie. He's got plenty of cards to play and an angle to play them from, you can be absolutely sure of that. In the end, the "whole media" will look like fools and he'll come out smelling like a rose.

And even if Rove were actually indictable, any conviction would result in an immediate pardon from shrub. The bush mafia is not about to let their prime political strategist go down the drain.

4. No
Have the voters of the right ever shown any indication for holding their elected officials accountable? So the right will continue to use Rove to run campaigns no matter what happens to him.

5. If he doesn't end up in jail - he'll still be in command. They'll say he
was fired but all policy decisions will still go through him.

6. I don't think Rove will serve jail time, but...
it's not really important that he does. I just want to see the bush administration discredited. If bush is crippled politically he will have a hard time continuing to push his far RW agenda down our throats.

I think Rove will be forced to resign. But, it would be sweet to see Rove marched off to the Federal Penitentiary.

10. Yeah, but Rove isn't nearly as pretty as North and he can't plead
stupidity like Reagan did.

13. He might ...
... "officially" lose his job, but he's not going to be convicted of jack. Justice is only for the poor and powerless.

15. So will he get the "sorority prank" treatment?
You know. Just some "pranks" for being a traitor to his country?

16. At worst he'll get pardoned.
At best, if he's "given up," and he gets "fired," it'll only mean he's going on to take care of the next project for the Bushes. They won't give up Rove. No way, no how.
