Bush had responded like a CEO trying to get back to business. He dispatched top adviser Karl Rove on a mission to tell Major League Baseball and the National Football League to start playing again as soon as possible and to improve their security at stadiums. He resisted the aides who wanted him to state bluntly in his address on Tuesday night that the nation was at war. But by Wednesday Bush was embracing the enormity of the moment. It was not going to be like everyday life in America, not for a while, and he knew it was time...
Massaging the Teamsters started before Bush was in the White House.

That gratitude didn't win Bush the Teamsters' endorsement, but when the two sons who hold their fathers' jobs met last year, they hit it off.

After repeated false starts, a scaled-back version of the faith-based bill passed the House last month...
...picked a Democrat for the Senate since 1932. Ex-Attorney General Janet Reno is weighing a challenge to Jeb Bush for Florida Governor, and former Clinton adviser Rahm Emmanuel is eyeing a congressional seat in Illinois. Aiming for a little balance, Elizabeth Dole has talked to Bush adviser Karl Rove and Senate Campaign Committee boss Bill Frist about running for Jesse Helms' Senate seat, should he retire...
