And he wants to expand his base. Last fall, he met David Horowitz for the first time. "I knew he had read my book Destructive Generation [co-written by Peter Collier] because he had referred to it in some of his speeches," says Horowitz. "But I wasn't expecting the call." It came from Rove, and offered Horowitz a private get-together with the governor and his top staff. Afterwards, the pair started to correspond, and this spring Horowitz sponsored a major speech by Bush to Hollywood elites, in which he stressed the importance of abstinence. During the speech, Horowitz nearly panicked. "Right message, wrong crowd," he says.
In the end, however, Bush-the current darling of the coming GOP presidential field-received a standing ovation. He has not yet won similar raves from conservative intellectuals, or at least those he hasn't met. But perhaps that's because he is only starting to speak to them.
