Bush: Political Genius

Carlos Watson:


Whether you are a Democrat, a Republican or an independent, it is hard not to look at President Bush's re-election victory last week and conclude that he is probably one of the three or four most talented politicians of the last half of a century.


This seems way over the top to me. I don't think that it is particularly remarkable that a guy named Bush who is a Republican was able to unseat an incumbent Democratic governor in Texas. In 2000, there was Clinton fatigue and Gore was a stiff. And this year, Bush got a bare majority in the midst of a war. I voted for him, but I certainly am not in awe of this skills as a politician.
