If Karl Rove was a Democrat....

....here is how the Democrats would campaign in the general election, depending on the Republican nominee:

Giuliani: Always refer to him as "that New Yorker Giuliani," emphasis on the first syllable in his last name. Especially effective in the South and Midwest.

Huckabee: Phone calls from phony "pollsters," asking likely voters in key battle states "Would your view of Mike Huckabee change if you knew he had 2 illegitimate black children?"

McCain: Whisper campaign: is he a Manchurian Candidate, sent to us by the North Vietnamese?

Romney: Casually bring up the phrase "magic underwear" in every speech. As in, "I'll wear my jockeys in the Oval Office, not some pair of magic underwear!"

Thompson: Talk in that loud voice you use to talk to your Grandfather whenever you talk about him.

Ron Paul: He's insane. Arguing for smaller government, individual rights, fiscal responsibility: since when has a Republican ever stood for those things?
