But he marked his victory by telling Republicans in Manchester that Democrats favor "cutting and running" from Iraq--bold words to show that "the Architect," as Bush has called him, is back to battle unencumbered at a time when the White House needs his strategic instincts more than ever. Bush said he "took a sigh of relief" at Fitzgerald's decision and declared, "I trust Karl Rove." White House chief of staff Josh Bolten endorses Rove...
