Roll Call: End of the Rove

• Karl Rove to retire to his castle far atop Mount Doom.

• Mitt Romney proves to be marginally more popular than unpopular GOP candidates in majestic Straw Poll victory — Ron Paul happy Iowans recognized him, didn't tow car.
• The media won't have Tommy Thompson to not kick around anymore — Fred Thompson rushing in to fill dangerous "Thompson" deficit.
• John Edwards totally sucking up to the envirosexuals.
• Some conservatives pleased by dark twinkle in Hillary's eye.
