Is Rove at it again?

Here's from an internal John Edwards campaign memo:

This is a page straight out of his tired old playbook -- Rove is attacking Hillary Clinton because he doesn't want John Edwards to win the Democratic nomination.

Rove knows that Democrats will rally around whomever he attacks -- so he attacks the candidate he thinks Republicans can most easily defeat.

It may seem backwards, but Rove and his cronies did the same thing last time around. In 2004, they were scared of John Edwards, so they attacked John Kerry.

I don't know if that was Rove's intention, but I do know that the poll numbers show Edwards doing better against any of the Republicans than the other Dems.
