Karl Rove Taking on Final Project of Bush Administration:

Electing a Successor

Make no mistake. Karl Rove may be leaving the White House but he is not leaving the Bush Administration. He was not forced out. It has nothing to do with subpoenas or spending more time with his family or because the work of the Bush Administration is over.

Karl Rove is leaving the White House to put his undivided efforts in service of the last crucial project of the Bush Administration–electing Bush’s successor. Officially or unofficially, Karl Rove will be working to elect a successor that is acceptable to President Bush by virtue of continuing his vision. The ProConPundit is not sure who that is. McCain, Thompson or Huckabee are my best guesses.

If you think George W. Bush is not concerned about who his successor will be, think again. If you think George W. Bush will leave The White House with his head hung in shame and return to Texas like LBJ ready to do nothing but drink and let his hair grow, think again. Incidentally, the ProConPundit intends no disregard to LBJ. Bush, while not having a ready made successor in his VP, thank God, is critically concerned about who will replace him. He has had a rocky history with McCain yet McCain is the best shot to lead in a way that will reflect well on Bush. Some of Bush’s family members having been flirting with the Romney and Thompson campaigns. Above anything else, Bush does not want Hillary Clinton in the White House. What’s more? President George H. W. Bush, or as I like to say, the real Bush, does not want Hillary Clinton elected. If Hillary is elected, the Clinton spin will be that they twice delivered the country from the Bushes.
