They go to small groups. They're hardly noticed by the media. So, we've never seen anything like this before. Well, at this time, Bush is the center of attention. So what you have to do is define yourself relative to Governor Bush to be part of it.

The episode right now is George Bush. So to be part of that, you have to juxtaposition yourself versus Governor Bush, which is fine.

And so I think we have to be a little bit careful how we do our jobs in order not to interfere with the actual event we're trying to cover.
