Karl Rove deputy J. Scott Jennings directed Lurita Doan, the chief of the GSA, and as many as 40 agency officials to help in the re-election of embattled Republicans in the 2006 election. The presentation was made by the White House aide given at the General Services Administration and discussed targeting 20 Democratic congressional candidates in the next election.

Jennings' 28-page presentation included 2006 election results and listed the names of Democratic candidates considered beatable, and Republican lawmakers thought to need their help in 2008. The 2008 list includes the following local pols: Thelma Drake (VA-02), Roscoe Bartlett (MD-06) and Tom Davis (VA-11) . The last two slides of the 28 identify Virginia as battleground states in the 2008 Senate race where GSA help will be needed.

Davis might not seek re-election. What does Rove know about the Senate seat?

No matter how cynical you get, Karl Rove makes it impossible to keep up.

Thelma Drake is a brainless rubber stamp for George W. Bush.  Karl Rove really does know what he's talking about to place her on this list.  We need to find out what action was taken on this illegal initiative, both before and after the GSA speech.  "Thelma Drake -- Caught red-handed."
