this is a top republican campaign strategist, karl rove, raising what he later called a serious health matter. well, the question is whether rove and perhaps others are headed with all this. will they persist in this demand for more information about the former secretary of state's health. will they drill deeper, questioning whether she's healthy enough mentally to serve as the country's top executive. and what about the health of clinton's reaction team? can it handle the level of heat without the back up of a full-fledged war room like bill clinton had in '92. or will this vicious assault by karl rove force the democratic front-runner to advance her announcement date, move up the time when she'll have a strong campaign team able to swing into action against such lousy attacks as this one. or this deliberate attack ignite a furious counterattack already. will people like rove become the villains of this piece? we'll see tonight. michael steele, scharm h chairman of the republican national party and joan walsh is editor at large of "the salon." joan, this is the kind of thing, let's ta
