Bush: Home on election night, but not alone
What’s election night like for a largely unloved president waiting to see who the voters pick to replace him?
Here’s a q-and-a with White House Press Secretary Dana Perino at today’s briefing:
Q: Another question, and I know this is a little bit in advance, but what exactly is the president going to be doing Tuesday night? I know you said he’s staying here. Who’s going to be here? Can you give us a little tick-tock about what his plans are?
Perino: I’ll try to get you some more information on that. He often will have somebody over for dinner or something before they start watching the returns. So as we get a little bit closer, let me try to nail that down for you.
Q: This weekend, Camp David and no campaigning at all?
Perino: That’s right.
Q: Any particular reason why no one wants him out there?
Perino: The president is pretty focused on the activities that we have here, especially getting this economy back in order. As we’ve said for a while, the president was going to be focusing on this. We canceled a lot of our fundraisers, and he’s going to focus on being with Mrs. Bush and others this weekend at Camp David.
