DescriptionWASHINGTON (AP) -- Beginning the sixth year of his administration, President Bush is finding it harder and harder to rally support from within his own party for major initiatives.

When he goes to Capitol Hill to deliver his annual State of the Union address on Tuesday, Bush will recite the usual litany of new proposals and pledges.

But with Social Security restructuring and many other ideas from his speech a year ago still bogged down, a raft of new programs may be the last thing the GOP troops want to hear.

Getting Republicans to leap to their feet in bursts of applause will not be enough this time. Bush also will have to keep Republicans from walking away from his agenda afterward.
