...Saturday Bush received 7,418 votes to Steve Forbes' 4,921. Elizabeth Dole placed a surprisingly strong third, with 3,410, denying to Forbes what he wanted most from Iowa: the perception that the G.O.P. contest had come down to a two-man race. There's a woman in it now. But if Bush goes on to take the G.O.P. nomination and the White House next year, Rove, who at 48 is playing a major role in a presidential campaign for the first time in his life, will be anointed a genius...
