Okay, I won't tell you that. It's not necessarily the case. All we know is that he met with Rudy at Rudy's request - one-on-one. I imagine many presidential wannabes and contenders will try to get his ear and attention of these next years. The bigger question may be what his own intentions are after this president steps down. Will he retire back to TX? Will advise the highest bidder? Is he already working on Condi's candidacy? Only time will tell.....
There ought to be a Presidential Medal of Freedom in his future. Wouldn't that just frost the RATS?
