I think this article by Ron Suskind is interesting. Its gives a bit of gossipy, but I think fairly credible insight into Bush's West Wing and the influence of Karl Rove, with some comparisons to the Clinton administration.

The main critique is based on a letter from John DiIulio to Suskind, apparently a bold desire to address the power of Rove.
the letter
These articles both relate to Bush's domestic policy/political machinery, a source of great concern to me as a citizen and voter, -. Particularly the proposed dismantling to impoverished state control the ridiculously cost effective and stunningly successful Head Start. No Child Left Behind? Yeah, right.
