I don't buy the 'reverse psychology' angle (i.e. that Obambi won't listen because it's Rove). Obambi may be an arrogant bastard, but he's not stupid; he'll listen. Karl, if you're going to give the Dems advice, put a trap in there where they won't see it.

Obama peaked too early in his political career. Nothing wrong with being a Senator, but it his hard to imagine that he will ever occupy the office of the presidency. In short, he's damaged goods. Given more time to mature and develop experience, he might have had a shot. But that’s all gone now unless he can manage a lazarus-like-revival. Rove gives good advice but it is too late.
