I don't believe that Bush directly appointed the members. It was more likely a congressional thing, iirc. But you are right about the Republican members, they are all toothless old guys who don't realize that politics is war for the Demos and they'll say and do anything to win. It was incredibly stupid of whoever appointed Kean to have picked such a weakling who is so easily pushed around.

The Bush administration didn't want Rep bulldogs on the board. He is very happy that it is filled with Clintonistas.
This is part of his, "let them talk themselves out of the election" strategy.
If I was Bush, I would start focusing on the ties that bind the RATS on the commission and start making a play for their seats. Daschle is a good example. I would like to see what other RAT senators are associated with the commission and start hammering them.
The goal isn't the presidency. The goal is to get as many senate seats as possible to create a filibuster proof majority. Then you change policy.
