Abstract

“It is no accident that the president's travels this year have followed the map of states that top the Bush target list for winning in 2004, particularly Florida and Pennsylvania. That also helps explain why his advisers sometimes seem more focused on electing Republican governors rather than members of Congress in states like Florida, Illinois, and Michigan: they could help him immensely in 2004.”Richard L. Berke, “Is What's Good for Bush Also Good for the G.O.P.?” New York Times, February 10, 2002, section 4, p. 5.
