Last time I checked he wasn't working with the campaign, and is still in political exile for some of his questionable acts while in the White House. Karl Rove also pulled quite a slander campaign on McCain in 2000, so I don't think McCain will seek his help. Not to menion Rove is only interested in helping out a campaign if it has some tangible advantage for him, such as all the power he had as a political consultant while working with Bush the governor and Bush the pres. And Rove is a political hand grenade at this point as he is still under investigation, so I don't think McCain would touch him even if he wanted to. Rove is different from a lot of Republicans in that he isn't willing to go out of his way for his party (like some of the nutjob authors who think it is their duty to take down a candidate) if he isn't going to be benefitted in some way. I can respect that. If you want to know more about Rove, read Machiavelli's Shadow: The Rise and Fall of Karl Rove. Fascinating biography.

Karl Rove has actually been reasonably vocal during this campaign, whether McCain wanted his help or not. And I also mistyped "protege" as "prodigy" for some reason, and I definitely do think there is a Sith apprentice in McCain's campaign whether he knows it or not, ready to plant that traditional October Super Smear :P
