1. W followed the "give Congress what they want on domestic policy so that they give me what I want on foreign policy" rule.

2. W was willing to compromise and was a "compassionate conservative".

3. A lot of the legislation that W championed was "temporary".

4. W used lots of earmarks. For example, he gave New York earmarks so that Hillary would vote for Iraq.

5. W was willing to deficit spend, so he was more likely to say "yes" to whatever spending Congress wanted.
