Apparently, George W. Bush thinks the Republicans will be just fine in 2008:
President George W. Bush spoke before the National Republican Congressional Committee last night and offered a more positive assessment of his party’s chances in November than Republicans are used to hearing.
Some highlights:
-”I don’t know about you, but I’m excited about the year 2008. I intend to finish strong, with my head held high. And I intend to work to see to it that we keep the White House and elect John Boehner Speaker of the House of Representatives.”
-”First, you’re going to be welcoming a new keynote speaker — President John McCain.”
-”I also want to welcome all the candidates who are running for office. You know, it’s not an easy decision to make to run for the United States Congress. But it’s a noble decision. And it’s a tough decision for your families. And so I want to thank you for agreeing to run. I want to thank your families for agreeing to support you. My advice is work hard, talk about what’s in your heart, let the people know your values, and win. And I think you will. I think 2008 is going to be a fabulous year for the Republican Party.”
And if he’s wrong, what does he care ? He’ll be back in Crawford by this time next year.
And, yea, he’s wrong.
