Who is Karl Roves historical counterpart?

Karl Rove is a rank amateur compared to the likes of Lee Atwater and even Atwater cannot compare to the likes of Machiavelli, Tallyrand and Johnson. Rove is shrewd and has a good feel for the non-urban population, but his accomplishments in this election are highly overrated.

The closest historical analog I can think of is a guy whose name I can’t recall or retrieve with my weak-assed Google skilz. But my ever useless memory recalls that this advisor to Harry S Truman crafted the political strategy that enabled President Truman to win in 1948, after polling at 36% earlier that year. And he did it despite not one but two “third-party” challenges directly siphoning off Democratic votes, and without a national calamity or war.
