administrations that happen to be 41 and 43. so is that a problem, his top national security advisers would be former advisers to his father and his brother? here s the problem with this. within the republican party, if you notice the other day, he pulled his shirt open to reveal a reagan/bush t-shirt. there was always i was in that campaign. there was always a little bit of attention there between the reaganites and the bushies. now it s a first cousin to the outsider-insider situation. and the problem is, within the republican party, there are significant numbers of people who george w. bush did keep us safe, but on domestic spending and a whole lot of domestic issues, no child left behind, expanding the government, they re furious about. and he wound up his presidency with 22% of the popularity and that s been a problem for republicans ever since. in the end, i think most of the campaign still believe there will be one finalist in this
