Christine Todd Whitman was touted yesterday by the Washington Post as a potential candidate for World Bank president.

Strange they didn't mention her attack on George Bush II, carried (subs) by the paper the previous day.

Whitman's memoir will soon be published, in which she "flays Bush and his team for ignoring the country's middle."

"The numbers show that while the president certainly did energize his political base, the red state/blue state map changed barely at all -- suggesting that he had missed an opportunity to significantly broaden his support in the most populous areas of the country," Whitman writes in her book.

"The Karl Rove strategy to focus so rigorously on the narrow conservative base won the day, but we must ask at what price to governing and at what risk to the future of the party."
