Why doesn't he run for president, is he hiding something in the closet?

In his closet ? Possibly the fact that his grandfather was a Nazi governor in Germany during the war ?

Karl Rove tells some Republicans what to think, but that doesn't mean they listen. In fact given the support among Republicans for the President's agenda in Congress right now I would say it's pretty clear they don't.
I can't believe I'm defending Karl Rove, because I'm not entirely sure that we personally agree on anything, but I'm going to do it. Not everyone who loves politics or public policy wants to actually run for office. You have to raise lots of money, be polite to annoying people, and attend lots of silly events.
Some people thrive on being "the guy behind the guy." That doesn't mean they have anything to hide. That just means they have different skills and want different things out of life.
I'm a policy analyst and I pretty much live to tell elected officials what to do. Not that they listen very often. However, I have no desire to be an elected official. I don't have any skeletons in my closet.
I would suck on the campaign trail. I wouldn't have any patience, I want to tell people why they were wrong and generally drive campaign staff nutty.

I'm a Republican and Karl Rove never tells me what to think, if I agree with Bush on something I will say so and if I actually disagree with Bush on something I will say so too (my biggest disagreement with Bush is Amnesty for Illegal Aliens, but I agree with at least 75% of Bush's agenda and disagree with 25% of it).

I thought you already knew. We are just one big right wing conspiacy, out to control the world. Each day before we get out of bed, we implant a chip in our heads, and are told what to do and say all day.
And the Democrats are our next goal.........
Please...................

He just called me and told me to tell you that he doesn't tell us what to think. 8P
That was weird too because he has never called me before that I can remember....although I have had "dreams" about it....hmmm.
So...no he doesn't tell us what to think at all.
Why would you say that?

He doesn't tell Ron Paul what to think, therefore I must answer "No" to the question.
If you had asked if he told Bush what to think, my answer would be different.
