Karl & John

From Andrew Sullivan:

Next week, I'm informed via troubled White House sources, will see the full unveiling of Karl Rove's fall election strategy. He's intending to line up 9/11 families to accuse ([publican senators] McCain, Warner and Graham of delaying justice for the perpetrators of that atrocity, because they want to uphold the ancient judicial traditions of the U.S. military and abide by the Constitution.

That leaves me with two questions: 1) Will this issue re-open the animosity between the Bush team and the McCain team? I can't imagine that McCain would continue to seek the support of the White House in his bid for the 2008 GOP presidential nomination if Rove moves forward with this election plan. And 2) How will this effect McCain's place at the top of Republican primary polls? Will conservatives, who are already weary of the Arizona Senator, withdraw support in favor of a more pro-Bush candidate?
