and we ended up the next day in phoenix and at the end of the day i possibly gave mccain by theodore roosevelt cufflinks because he's such a tr bus. >> host: karl rove, which he used that picture if of you with the opposition? >> guest: i don't think that ultimately helped them. i think you made them look petty and small. it was easy and simple to do, but it made them -- i mean, people did not think john mccain was george w. bush. if he wanted to say republicans there were other ways of doing it. in politics you can do things that if you win the campaign everybody thinks were useful and effective but in reality they weren't. i frankly think barack obama's inspiring rhetoric, not red states, blue states got his remark was focused on central policies, his post-partisan bipartisanship, i think those were far more effective than him saying john mccain is george bush three. >> host: this is the book, "courage and consequence." karl rove is the author. 202-737-0001 if you live in the east or central time zone. 202-737-0002 for those of you in the mountain and pacific time zone. booktv@c-sp
