You can't be the third term of Bush. People want change. They want a different direction.

George Bush was called a lap dog for Ronald Reagan. You have to overcome that. You have to overcome that by looking the voters right in the eye and have a solid reason why you are running for president.

I think that he is a good manager who brought to office a whole different theory on how to run government, which is why he was elected in the first place.

I must admit, there's a little bit of 'this guy smells like a winner.' And that's aiding, I think, the cash flow tonight.

These folks know the president very well. They get along terrific. They understand each other, and they're loyal to each other. As long as you're organized, disciplined, well-managed, they'll survive.

Air Force Two being a great one, being able to pick and choose issues at the White House that you can foster the lead on, using the Rose Garden as a backdrop, going up to Congress, being president of the Senate, tons of very, very, very substantial roles that you use symbolically to show folks that you really are a leader.

I think that he approaches government differently than perhaps his predecessors, but I don't think it has anything to do with the White House, per se, but his management style.
