I think he has his own "good ole boy network", it just isn't the traditional one we would associate with that sterotype.

He doesn't necessarily cater to the press or the lobbyists or the collateral lines of power that have been in place for a long time, and that's pissed a bunch of people off. (Makes me happy though).
And that is one thing I really liked about some people in the Bush Admin as well, esp Rumsfield and the way he handled the press. But hey I am a bit more hawkish. Not that is was always the correct way to deal with them but I loved it when he handed them their assess in Q&A press meetings.
