What Clinton started with his 'constant campaign' has been perfected by the Bush team, with Karl Rove at the reigns. The sad thing is that this focus on politics and 'good PR' has completely swept aside any sort of a coherent domestic policy.
Part of this problem stems from Bush's lack of good domestic policy leaders. He's got all these very powerful individuals (Powell, Rice, Rumsfeld, Cheney), and they are all focused on foreign policy, and with his domestic team it seems all he's got is Rove, a professional political operative with no policy experience running the show.
