-DIXIE June 2006: Culture of Corruption" Theme: FAILED!
"Democratic spinmeisters are all lauding yesterday's election results as a "moral victory" despite the fact they didn't win diddly squat. The California seat of Cunningham was supposed to be a bell-weather for the upcoming midterms, being that Duke was sent to jail for corruption, it was the most obvious race for the Democrats to try their 'Culture of Corruption' strategy, and Democrat Busby failed to get even as many votes as she got in the last election for the seat. Even though the strategy failed in this, the most likely race to make it work, Democrats are going to insist the results from yesterday meant some kind of win for the party. I think it was a clear indicator, the voters... even in liberal kookville California... rejected the 'culture of corruption' message from the Democratic party. The strategy is doomed, and yesterday's results proved it clearly!" (fullpolitics.com)

-KARL ROVE, November 2006: “The profile of corruption in the exit polls was bigger than I’d expected,” Rove tells TIME. “Abramoff, lobbying, Foley and Haggard [the disgraced evangelical leader] added to the general distaste that people have for all things Washington, and it just reached critical mass.” (Time Magazine)
