[Bush's campaign strategist Karl Rove predicted that Forbes would not be able to keep pace as the campaign moves forward.] This is his high water mark, ... New Hampshire might be the same for John McCain. |
[Bush's top aides debated whether to keep the President above the fray during the midterms--] to protect him, ... As far as Bush was concerned, the real risk would have been to sit on his hands when he had the opportunity to make the difference in some very close races. He and Karl were completely in synch. |
[But Bush advisors insist the convention's overall feel will continue to be much less combative--and even much less partisan--than usual.] There will be contrasts, ... but it's going to be a different tone. |
[From reading between the lines on the story, it sounds like Rove was doing what he's advised candidates to do for years: when under attack, push back.

At the core, we are dealing with two parties that have fundamentally different views on national security. Republicans have a post-9 / 11 worldview, and many Democrats have a pre-9 / 11 worldview. That doesn't make them unpatriotic, not at all. But it does make them wrong. Deeply and profoundly and consistently wrong. |
Bush and Cheney will be going to the same groups of states, going to the same kinds of markets, just at different times, ... It's far more powerful to us to have him go to the battleground states. It's far more powerful to have him focused on the same mission as George W. Bush--that is, laying out a positive and optimistic agenda. |
Cindy Sheehan is a clown. There is no real antiwar movement. No serious politician, with anything to do with anything, would show his face at an antiwar rally. |
