Right now, Karl Rove is the equivalent of an Ebola virus carrier to the rest of the field and none of them will associate with him in public.
Giuliani has already lost two high-level consultants to scandal and will probably not be moved to put Rove in any capacity except a Deep-Throat informant. The rest of the field doesn't want to deal with a loser and Rove is now considered a loser, having a hand in the trashing of the Bush administration (the prosecutor scandal, the Plame-Libby affair, the minimization of the religious right as a political force in the 2006 election). He may be a master of facts but he is not considered a master of conclusions.
He will write his book, spin his role in the debacles mentioned above and make lots of money. His karma will come later -- much later.
