a whiteboard is a Karl Rove trademark tactic!

If you google Karl Rove whiteboard, you will come up with multiple hits telling of the times that Karl Rove has used his "trademark" whiteboard as an aggressive, hostile tool. He even went after O'Reilly and Cain with whiteboards.

Very interesting that Romney has adopted this Rovian style of politics!

So we have the whiteboard, we have the R0bme campaign accusing opponents of behaviors they partake in themselves (e.g. running relentless smear campaigns, false outrage, diverting from key issues, running a campaign based on hatred and divisiveness), and pandering. I wonder what's next in store for them.

Rove is the "political" hand in the Romney puppet, while the Koch Brothers and Adelson and the like are the economic hand.
