Several websites have emerged urging Rove's removal, including www.Rovespinkslip.com where users can write personalized "pink slips" to Rove. So far over 15,000 slips had already been filled out.

Howard Dean, veteran of internet outreach, discussed Rove in a conversation with bloggers and journalists Wednesday evening. The call, hosted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, marked a new strategy by the Committee to increase outreach to online media. In the blogosphere, the debate over Rove has received attention from both the left and the right on sites like RedState.org and The Daily Kos.

Users have been responding to posts about Rove in huge numbers, and the attention seems to have taken a toll on the Bush administration. A NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll earlier this month showed decreasing faith in the president's personal credibility. The percentage of Americans who believe Bush is ``honest and straightforward'' fell to 41 percent from 50 percent in January.
