Some Democrats complain that his high-profile alliances with Republicans--such as his joining with Tom Coburn, one of the most conservative Republicans in the Senate, to push a bill to monitor Hurricane Katrina recovery spending--smack of a man positioning himself for a presidential run. "He needs to be careful not to look too political and too out for himself," says a Democratic strategist. "He needs to pick some fights [with Republicans]."
