No one much likes Bush - and that now that he's a lame duck, GOP candidates will want to chart their own course apart from him. Most of the candidates have the advantage of not having served in his Administration and they can and will repudiate his unpopular immigration policy. The GOP is looking not for the heir to Bush but for the heir to Reagan.

I continue to admire and trust President Bush very much. I believe he has been nearly as profound a leader as was President Reagan. I believe that it is the nation that has failed President Bush, not the other way around.

We’ve tried two Bush’s as the heirs to Reagan, we’ve learned our lesson. A Bush couldn’t get elected to the Drain Commission as a Republican. He’s screwed the pooch, destroyed his family’s business.
