Runnning from the president

Attention thirty-percenters: Even the 10 men running for the Republican presidential nomination understand that George W. Bush is a failure, and finished.

Upon what do I base this?

Until the final question, when candidates were invited to state how they would be different from the sitting President, Bush's name [was] mentioned once during the 90-minute debate.

Once.

The sitting president was mentioned ONCE during a debate between members of his own party who seek to replace him.
