Dark Lord Karl Rove notes that Sen. Barack Obama’s post-Wisconsin, policy-oriented speech provides an entree for his Democratic and Republican rivals to attack: Until now, Mr. Obama has been making appeals to the center, saying, for example, that we are not red or blue states, but the United States.
