I know my opinion will meet argument, but I believe in a decade that Republicans will be glad GWB was president. I beleive that a lot of the decisions he’s made will be seen in retrospect as courageous and bold - and the right ones to make at the time.
Of course, such a prediction does not help Republicans running in 2008, but how and to what degree Republican candidates distance themselves from Bush is an individual decision, but I caution each of them to take a long view: many decisions and events that seem negative at the time are positive in the long run.
And don’t retort that in the long run we’re all dead. That is too simplistic an answer for a profession as complicated as politics.

In 2000 and 2004 it was GWB or AlBore or Kerry. It was an easy choice at those times. Of course some of GWB’s decisions were admirable, but some were not to be sure. Now is the time to look to the future, not the past, and concentrate on keeping the White House, in hopefully conservative hands, in the 2008 elections.
