race which we are supposed to have now, there s no official incumbent. we searched for someone to make the heart flutter. that s what democrats seem to want in these situations it seems it s a shock to the collective democratic system the democrats are finding themselves coalescing around someone who does not make their hearts flutter and wants to make the hearts flutter but doesn t have a chance of making their hearts flutter. and that may not be the worst thing in the world. well we re always correcting for the last mistake. barack obama was elected in part because he was clearly a brilliant guy, clearly read the book instead of just the cover. and so he was making up for what the nation saw as the deficiencies of george w. who hated complexity and retreated into simple answers. i think if there s a short coming in the obama years, maybe it s heart flattered too much at the beginning. and expectations were raised too
he has made no public appearances to this point with bush or cheney, to make his first public appearance with not bush but cheney, you think it s because he s been defined by the republican party as a liberal? defined and then let s never talk about it again. it gave rise to the tea party and then it s george w. who? he did get this from his father. his father decided i m really going to be quiet about bill clinton, and i would say that he decided the same thing about obama. why don t we get george w. bush loyalists? they worked on a lot of the economics and a lot of the policies, why aren t george w. bush loyalists saying the guy you should be aligned with is george w. bush, not cheney? they recognize the poison. there s a recognition, you re not going to hear too many people on the republican side saying let s bring back the cheney days.

about his capacity for higher office. picking those bush advisors and being a governor from texas after the last republican governor from texas, would that put the republican party in the position of finally sort of having to reckon with the legacy of george w. bush and the bush economy and whether or not they like it or they were going to keep running from it the way they have for the last couple of cycles? george w. who? what legacy? they have spent three years running away from george w. bush s legacy as fast and hard as they can. because after all, they denounced him as not a real republican. you know, he ran up the deficit. and he got us in all these foreign involvements. the tea party people are suspicious about. in fact, a lot of tea party people don t like the patriot act and all that stuff he did. so, look, the last thing republicans want is for people to look at their candidate and see george w. bush ii.
