Bush rallying Democrats. GOP strategist says "He should stay away"
by Joe in DC - 11/01/2006 09:01:00 AM

Bush is on the campaign trail, whipping himself in to a cheerleading frenzy. The plan is for Bush to rile up his base. According to today's Washington Post, he's also energizing the Democratic base. One reason is that he can't stop talking about Iraq -- his biggest failure.

One GOP strategist, speaking candidly about the president on the condition of anonymity, offered this assessment: "I'd say he's at least 50 percent of the problem." In strongly Republican areas, he said, the president can still rally the party's base, but in more marginal districts, Bush is a drag on GOP candidates. "He's the problem," the strategist said. "He should stay away."

1. Bush* is not THE problem, Republicans are THE problem and people know it

Bush* is just the one in the limelight now. Even though he is not running for office he is spending all his time campaigning instead of doing his job. Kerry should ask why Bush* is not at the Whitehouse where he should be instead of on the road slandering Democrats.
