Karl Rove Resigns

President Bush's long time political advisor and man dubbed "the architect" — Karl Rove — is resigning. He helped Bush win the White House — twice.

He's the mastermind behind years of Republican rule but also the man who predicted a "permanent Republican majority." That's already gone in Congress.

Karl Rove has been loved and feared and hated. Now he's headed out of town.
