Bush staying out of the fray

It's not too surprising that President Bush has decided to stay out of the gubernatorial primary. I'm pretty sure George W has better things to do, and I'm guessing that almost any ex-governor of Texas would rather think about anything other than school finance:

One thing Bush said he will not do during his visit home is get involved in the looming gubernatorial primary battle between Gov. Rick Perry and Carole Keeton Strayhorn, whose son is White House spokesman Scott McClellan.

"I held a high position in Texas at one time in my life and I have made it clear to all parties that I am not going to get involved in the race," Bush said.

"They are both friends."

It'd be hard to go against your former #2, and it'd make for an awkward situation at the White House with Scott McClellan if Bush came out for Perry.
