What Bush Threw Away (washingtonpost.com)

It doesn't matter that this is just an election against Bush. That's ok, that's what elections are for. A pithy critique of what Bush could have had. I agree that Bush could have truly been one of the great president's on these United States, but he gave it up for an attempt at a narrow victory. More importantly, I don't think he had the leadership vision that the country needed.

I have always said that he was smart enough to know who he needed to hire and listen to. The problem may be with the Oval Office and the fact that it makes the smartest advisors stupid. Did anyone bring up what kind of opportunity he had for the history books? They failed Bush when they said let's go for the Democratic Party's throat. They failed the country.
