The GOP was uncomfortable having too much of a Bush presence at their convention– especially with Hurricane Gustav hitting the gulf coast– too reminiscent of Katrina. Laura Bush, a gracious and non-ideological spouse, is still popular with most Americans, and was a much safer pick.

And Bush at his best could never approach Bill Clinton in delivering a speech to an audience. It has nothing to do with the Hillary Clinton campaign, where Bill was actually more of a liability.
