NEWS ANALYSIS Presidential? Bush Is Getting Mixed Reviews on His Profile
Dan Balz Washington Post Service Monday, December 4, 2000
WASHINGTON Governor George W. Bush exuded enormous confidence in his pursuit of the presidency, skillfully managing the symbols and imagery of politics to his advantage. But in trying to stake a claim on the White House in one of the most difficult environments any would-be president has faced, he has been far less sure-footed.
With personnel moves, photo opportunities and scripted speeches, Mr. Bush has tried to create a sense of inevitability about the outcome of the still-disputed election, from his "victory" speech a week ago to his appearance Saturday at his ranch with Republican leaders in Congress to discuss his legislative agenda.
In doing so, Mr. Bush has begun to sketch the outlines of a presidency. But the question for Mr. Bush and his team, raised by some independent analysts and some Republicans speaking privately, is whether the man who believes he will be president has done all he can to make it possible to govern successfully after weeks of legal warfare and inflamed rhetoric on both sides - or whether he has made his chances worse.

Mr. Bush's reliance on his running mate, Dick Cheney, to direct his transition, Colin Powell, the retired general, to offer national security advice, and former Secretary of State James Baker 3d to run his Florida legal operation while staying relatively out of view testify both to his commitment to give broad authority to those around him and the confidence to let others share the limelight.

In naming Andrew Card as his prospective White House chief of staff, Mr. Bush has dealt quickly with one of his most important appointments, making it more likely that his White House team will be in place well in advance of an inauguration - a telling contrast to the way President Bill Clinton picked his White House staff.
In leaking Mr. Powell's likely nomination as secretary of state and the choice of Condoleezza Rice as national security adviser, Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney have sent signals to potentially nervous capitals abroad about the foreign policy team they will be dealing with if Mr. Bush becomes president.
Republicans in the Bush camp and close to the campaign contend that there is a deliberate strategy to keeping Mr. Bush out of public view. "The strategy is to low-key it and not let Bush be damaged in this period, so that when he is president-elect, he can mount a charm offensive and start to talk to the Democrats," a Republican official said.
