Rove is damaged goods now. If he does jump onto a campaign, it will have to be covertly since even some of the Republican faithful don't have high opinions of the guy. Why would a candidate attach themselves to this administration when the numbers are so low? There's no real positive to having Rove involved overtly for the candidate since anything that could actually accomplish would be tainted by the votes his presence would drive away.
I will be very surprised if Romney picks him up. He's the front runner without Rove, so why would he (Romney) make that gamble? Maybe Fred Thompson would pick him up, but I don't see Fred making that kind of gamble either. And there's no way in hell McCain or Gulianni are coming anywhere close to Rove, ever.
