Is Barack Obama Karl Rove's Most Devoted Acolyte?

More Rovian than Karl Rove himself. Or it could be that it's Clinton's divisive politics he's emulating?

If there was any doubt about the divisive aims of Obama's 2010 strategy, his man at the Democratic National Committee, former Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, wiped them away when he issued a pre-emptive warning about Republican racism two days later: "We know the Republican Party still seeks to suppress the vote and initiate arbitrary challenges, particularly challenging minority and low-income voters."

Obama and Kaine once lamented Republican efforts to exploit fears and divisions. Now they are more Rovian than Rove.

The preferred wedge issue for the president this year is immigration.
