Bush, Rove Expect Hillary to Run in 2008
In an excerpt from the book "Strategery," to be published Monday, Karl Rove says the following of the former First Lady: "Anybody who thinks that she's not going to be the candidate [in 2008] is kidding themselves."The Drudge Report:
Rove agreed [with Bush] in a question-and-answer session in his West Wing office for “Strategery,” which is based on exclusive, lengthy interviews with Bush, Cheney and their top advisers. The third in a series of New York Times bestsellers chronicling this unlikely yet historic presidency, “Strategery” is the most comprehensive, behind-the-scenes account of Bush’s narrow reelection and the tumultuous 14 months that followed.
“She is the dominant player on their side of the slate,” Rove said of Clinton. “Anybody who thinks that she’s not going to be the candidate is kidding themselves.”
But he added that New York Democrat is sometimes too cautious and “philosophically very liberal,” despite recent efforts to appear moderate.
