Here are seven lessons from last week on Karl Rove, the Southern Manifesto, Clay Aiken and related subjects.

Lesson Seven. It’s best not to underestimate Clay Aiken. Yes, the 2nd Congressional District is designed to elect a Republican. But Aiken gets more TV airtime than Ellmers. And he is the sort of unconventional candidate who is difficult to run against. (See Fred Gandy, who played Gopher on “Love Boat,” Ben Jones, who played Cooter on “Dukes of Hazzard,” Sonny Bono, Al Franken, Jesse Ventura, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ronald Reagan.)
