I think Rove is an asshole, but clearly he knows how to get his candidate elected.
If you want the job, you hire the people that can get you there. I work with people I don't like, but they are good at what they do. Doesn't mean I think like them, it's just that they can do the job.
And they all have lobbysists around. Even those that pretend they don't. Our entire political system involves lobbyists, and statements a candidate may make about not being involved with them would be lies. You cannot be a politician in the US without being involved with them. Anyone that thinks
any campaign is lobbyist free is deluding themselves about our political system.
