Rove and the Math...

The simple fact of the matter is that, short of some new revelation in the next 40 days, Eric Holder is going to be the next Attorney General of the United States.

Presidents tend to get their appointments, unless something untoward happens before or during the confirmation process. I have no doubt that they'll make him squirm over the Marc Rich pardon, but at the end of the day, he's the AG. The Democrats have numerical superiority on their side. They got the votes.

So what's the upside of having Karl Rove involved in the confirmation battle, if this story is true?

What's the advantage of being the regional, southern only party, being the party to shoot down the first African-American Attorney General?
