In resigning at this time, Rove has plucked one of the Democrats' favorite arrows out of their quiver. Endless hearings and investigations were a promise they made when they regained power, and it's one of the few they've kept, ad nauseam. Still, even though liberals have vowed to pursue Rove to the darkest regions of Texas, his lack of proximity to Bush will have let a lot of air out of that balloon.
Of course, their thirst for revenge will not be slaked by his departure. Liberals have always needed a shadowy, Machiavellian figure like Rove to assure themselves that a moronic frat-boy like Bush could not have actually beaten them twice.
