GOP worries Bush brooding on war, not campaign

[RamboLiberal]

President Bush may be the lamest duck of all as the race to succeed him heats up, and that's bad news for Republicans desperately fighting to hold onto the White House next year.

Thirteen months before the 2008 election, GOP officials and contenders face not only the albatross of Bush's unpopularity, but a surprising lack of interest from the party's leader in their fate.

Some Republicans believe the White House is too consumed with the Iraq war and its legislative agenda to pay enough attention to the battle for the presidency.

"The White House political machine is very different without Karl ," a prominent GOP powerbroker said. "They're somewhat disconnected from the campaign for the first time I can remember."

"They don't realize Bush's legacy in large measure is tied up in whether a Republican succeeds him or not," a Republican mandarin told the Daily News. "If a Democrat wins, the conclusion will be that eight years of George W. Bush have been repudiated by the American people. There's no coordination, no togetherness."

9. It's possible he's not attentive because they have plans to stay in the WH -

yep, stay right where they're at - until the oil and water pipelines are laid and secured from the Himalyas to Israel and the Mediterranean. And until the little people are officially serfs and the corporations are firmly in control.

They need Turkey and Russia and things aren't so good as of today.
