Some influence buying was indirect: nytimes.com Karl Rove, President Bush's top political adviser, recommended the Republican strategist Ralph Reed to the Enron Corporation (news/quote) for a lucrative consulting contract as Mr. Bush was weighing whether to run for president, close associates of Mr. Rove say. The Rove associates say the recommendation, which Enron accepted, was intended to keep Mr. Reed's allegiance to the Bush campaign without putting him on the Bush payroll. Mr. Bush, they say, was then developing his "compassionate conservativism" message and did not want to be linked too closely to Mr. Reed, who had just stepped down as executive director of the Christian Coalition, an organization of committed religious conservatives.
