Oh, it s a little bit personal. Of course, that vindictive spirit helped lead the GOP to almost lose Congress. It will undoubtedly hurt them again in Double-Ought. Okay, so George W. has been a bit too coy. Now that W. is a candidate he faces all the dangers he s been avoiding for two years.
People expect a lot more of a campaign than they do of a flirtation.
And George W. has shown a certain reluctance to actually admit what he stands for. He avoided taking a stand on the conflict in Kosovo, despite spending several months bulking up on foreign policy issues with some of the best in the business. And when contentious issues like gun control legislation came up in the Texas legislature, W. treaded carefully around or outright ignored the debate. That s not going to work in a television debate. Not even against Dan Quayle.
