Obamarovian?

I would argue yes. Scratch that - I would argue Sunztu.

Strike
at what appears to be the strongest attribute. If you strike hard
enough, the sense of strength will reel enough to cast it in a
questionable light - true or not.

Now in terms of ferocity? Negativism?

Clinton said her proposal would not force low-income Americans into
poverty by compelling them to pay for full health care coverage. She
said it included surplus funding to subsidize coverage for families
that could not afford it.

Obama
said it was a mandate - and a mandate it is. It is only negative if you
have questions about how well it is going to work out. It is a
distinguishing point, worthy of discussion.
Health Insurance is the
problem, not the Health Care. Mandating HI will only prolong that
problem, not solve it. Think, the preternaturally large US government
organization locked horn to horn with what, 3 insurance providers? Also
over large and prone to protective bureaucracy? Yikes.
The
solution is out there, but it will take a lot of negotiations to get
there in a healthy manner - fighting only makes it harder.

So is all power bad? Some? What is legitimate power to exercise? Rove being effective, shouldn't make all tactical moves bad .

All tactics aren't bad. What makes Rove's tactics despicable are when it becomes about tearing down the person and not the politics, like they did to McCain.
