Speculation on "The Why" re: US Attorneys

I've been wondering about why it was so important to the Bush administration, and to Rove, to get attorneys who would aggressively target Demo vote fraud, and then it hit me: Rove's M.O. - take your enemy's strength and make it their weakness!

Put another way, I believe that this whole thing (by the way, read MediaFreeze's excellent diary, which helped me have my lightbulb moment) in a way proves that the Repugs did in fact engage in voter fraud- that they knew they were going to lose on that issue, and that this was the fight they HAD to win. In typical Rove fashion, they had to strike first.

That is why Bush is so scared. That is why they all are. This is the beginning of what we've all wanted to see. The unraveling of the crimes that were the last two presidential elections.

I liked how madhaus put it in MediaFreeze's diary:

They always accuse the other side of their nefarious deeds.  They steal elections by disenfranchising voters?  They're in bed with the makers of the electronic vote-counting machines, which they've ensured no one can verify the software does what they claim? Simple: accuse Democrats of "voter fraud."
