Actually, Bush asked her not to run in 2004 and that he would support her in 2006. I have not heard Bush told her not to run this time. If he did, Bush went back on his word.
wow.......and i thought senators ran for re-election every 6 years.....2004 + 6years equals 2010....she decided not to run for the house in 2004, the president wanted her to run in 2004 because she could win that seat easily..she chose instead to run for senate in 2006, against the presidents wishes....if you do not know how long the term of a senator is, I hope you are not voting in this election.
