Washington Post Article on Rove's Use of Taxpayer Dollars for Political Power

The Washington Post has a great story on how Karl Rove used the power and largess of the Federal government to try and bolster the political fortunes of Republicans. The Post also has a map that shows how often two cabinet officials and/or their deputies visted various states before the 2006 mid-term elections. The two cabinet officials were the Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao and the Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton. There is an investigation going on by a committee of the House of Representatives to see if this practice violated Federal law.
