Hillary Clinton's campaign team ripped a page from President Bush's playbook

WASHINGTON - Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign model is stolen from George W. Bush's playbook - at least in theory.

As a once-mighty juggernaut struggles to salvage her candidacy after a humbling loss in Iowa, however, it's apparent Hillary '08 hasn't been able to practice what Bush '04 preached.

Her team privately bragged it would replicate the discipline, loyalty and damage-control smarts of the Bush campaign, but it's been an elusive goal: Bill and Hillary Clinton have veered off message, and her staff has been rocked by backbiting.

"We never aired our dirty laundry in public. Years after the fact, maybe there will be stories, but never during the heat of battle," said Trent Duffy, a 2004 Bush spokesman. "Everybody saluted, and we executed."

1. Bullshit.

"The articles in this series are adapted from "The Evangelical President," a book appearing this week from Regnery Publishing. Author Bill Sammon, The Examiner's Senior White House correspondent, reports on how President Bush is evangelical not just about his deeply held Christian beliefs, but also about the liberation of Iraq and the broader war against terrorism. Sammon interviewed Bush, Vice President Cheney and their closest confidantes about the president's religion and its impact on public policy. Sammon is the author of four previous books on the presidency, all New York Times bestsellers"

Regnery Publishing? Isn't Regnery Publishing a...RIGHT WING outfit?

I don't believe one word of this.
