I don't think Karl Rove should count as a kingmaker. Traditionally the title refers to someone whose influence is such that their support is enough to get someone elected regardless of qualifications. Karl Rove is more of a hired gun who is extremely talented at getting people elected. I think Huey Long is a perfect example of a kingmaker. 24.192.99.240 02:33, 9 May 2007 (UTC)Adam

I agree, and people who say he is don't really understand the term. Karl Rove does not decide who gets to be king (or president); he's just a good campaign strategist. Actually, I think the same thing applies to a few of the people listed in this article right now.--71.37.39.39 14:49, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
