What Rove wants is a story that will get Democrats talking about John Kerry being an idiot, etc., rather than whatever else they wanted to talk about. He wants to suck the oxygen out of whatever they're burning, and he wants to create some sense of momentum.* The story itself is not convincing anyone of anything. So Democrats like Ford distancing themselves from Kerry is just keeping this story aflame and moving.
All the Republicans who are talking up this story are just wishing it could be '04 again. If they close their eyes really hard and think happy thoughts, they can be running against John Kerry one more time.

Well, they definitely need to turn public attention away from the deary economy and those exorbitant gas prices.
Oh wait?
If a Dem was President, the robust economy would be the lead story of the NYT and the WaPo for the last 4 months.
