CA Recall | Bush Is Coy, White House Cautious In Recall Strategy

President Bush will be in CA Thursday for a two-day campaign swing, and there's some consideration about how Karl Rove et al will handle the recall issue here from NBC4. But is a Davis recall good or bad for the Bush camp? Seems there's some disagreement on the issue:

While Bush and his top advisers profess to be little more than curious onlookers to an unpredictable drama, Democrats insist the recall has been at least partly orchestrated by the White House -- an illegitimate power grab, they say, in a state Bush lost by more than 13 million votes in 2000.

As recently as three weeks ago, there was a consensus among the Bush political team -- including powerful adviser Karl Rove -- that Bush's own prospects in California would be better served if the unpopular Davis remained in office during the 2004 presidential campaign.
