- <p> You know things are bad when folks at the White House
- joke about the good old days under Sununu. Sam Skinner is
- taking some heat for the current drift at Bush Central. The
- White House chief of staff met with top Bush operatives last
- week to discuss leaks, a phenomenon with which some of those in
- the room certainly have a passing acquaintance. Assuring the
- group that he assumed none of them would ever leak, Skinner
- asked them to help stop unauthorized chatter. Some left the
- meeting shaking their heads. Many of the most damaging comments
- from Administration insiders of late have concerned the lack of
- a coherent Bush re-election strategy. Stopping the leaks won't
- solve the problem. While the Democrats are shooting it out,
- Bush's troops are concerned that he's wasting time and missing
- opportunities. Said one who attended the meeting: "There simply
- is no discipline. George Bush is probably going to win, but
- he'll win by default."
