Who’ll Be Next In Line For Heartache 
A relative unknown came to storied New Hampshire, home of America’s crustiest voters, seeking their backing for president. He rode the back roads aboard an iconic vehicle, taking his message to the faded mill towns which spawn our presidents.
No, not that one.
It was George Bush’s “Victory Express,” the motor-coach that carried him throughout New Hampshire in 2000.
Which Bush lost. 
Now the bus Bush road to defeat can be yours!
The Politico points to the exciting auction already underway on eBay, where you can own this metallic remnant of a humbler George W. Bush.
And that’s not all! There’s hardly a failed Republican presidential candidate of the last two decades, announced or otherwise, who hasn’t spent time on this doom patrol.
Alexander. 
Dole. 
Gingrich. 
Pataki. 
Gramm. 
Frist. 
Kemp. 
Romney.
The Loser Express’s final service to America was this year, 
when it rolled to it’s final disaster as the Rudi Giuliani campaign bus.
Before It’s Too Late 
Just when we are shedding the Bushes and cracks appear in the His ‘n Her Presidencies juggernaut, a new dynastic threat looms.
It may take swallowing a second generation of Romney, but it’s a price worth paying to strangle this political career in it’s cradle.
When the New York Times asked Nixon’s Grandson about his future, Christopher Nixon Cox brings the coy:
“When asked if he would ever consider running for public office, Mr. Cox sidestepped a bit. “For me, the key is to serve my country and my community in whatever way I can,” he said. “It can’t be about ego. It has to be about using my talents to serve the country in the best way I can. Right now, that means working for John McCain.”
You have been warned.
Negative Barometer 
Just in time for yet another gathering at the Reagan Library, the Los Angeles Times reports that incessant Reagan name checks have a negative correlation with Republican primary success. At least for Rudy Giuliani.
Mysteries of Texas 
The Financial Times sheds some light on one of the 2008 Presidential campain’s oddities: how George H.W. Bush came to host Mitt Romney for his Mormon 2.0 speech at the Bush Library. The FT discussed how the many candidates have related to not-for-profits in the past as clues to their prospective administrations.
“Of concern with Mitt Romney and Giuliani is their assessment about the judgment of people they associate with in the non-profit sector. As a board member of the Points of Life Foundation, Romney was involved in the organisation’s merger with the Hands On Network, which chose Neil Bush, the president’s brother, as vice-chair and chair-elect. Bush does not convey an image of the highest standards of non-profit probity thanks to a history of dubious business and non-profit endeavours. These include the Silverado Savings and Loan collapse (costing American taxpayers $1.3bn) and having his mother, Barbara, pitch for charitable donations that would be designated to help school systems buy his learning software.”
Mama Tried 
They are letting Neil off easy. His Asian whore mongering while in the service of dubious businessmen is legend.
Ignite!’s stuff is comically bad.
Reaching today’s teens through the universal language of Rap, a bored singer intones Machines and Profit in World Cultures, Europe in Transition, Topic 4: Industrial Revolution:
“with government out of the way, industrialists ruled the day…and got the pay”
And yes, they are on the YouthTube.
Bush’s business model focuses on getting local schools to buy one of his expensive “Cows” ["Curriculum on Wheels"], which appear to be a tricked up box of notebooks.
With wheels!
