Rove's influence within the administration is notorious, and his success on the political battlefield has been impressive, 2006's losses notwithstanding. He was key to turning Texas Republican in the 1990s, making it the first Democratic domino in the South to fall. On the national level, the Rove-Bush team went three for four. Then Liberals had the audacity to call both Rove and Bush idiots after their super intelligent Gore and Kerry were stomped, shows how ignorant some folks can be when they function on hate alone.  
Rove is a favorite target of a scandal-hungry press and of angry Democrats. Democrats will always attack Republicans and conservatives will always be treated poorly by the media. Changing the face on the target will do very little to remove the bulls-eye from the GOP's back.
