Karl Rove walks fast, says he and John McCain got over the hurts of 2000 by campaigning together in 2004, and says Ohio will make it three in a row as the crucial state in the presidential election. Rove entertained the Ohio delegation at this morning’s breakfast with a blend of funny stories and the story of Bud Day, a Vietnam vet from South Dakota who says John McCain saved his life. But Rove wasn’t taking questions from reporters on any issue — not Sarah Palin, not even on how the GOP plans to win Ohio. As he waited for the elevator doors at the Radisson Plaza hotel to close, Rove did give a one-word answer to the question: Did he campaign to keep Joe Lieberman off the ticket with John McCain? “No.”
