[Natalie Allen, Cnn Anchor:] Now to the Texas capitol. We are hearing some familiar names being tossed about as possible members of a Bush cabinet, and they're not all Republican. Joining us again with that, CNN's Eileen O'Connor in Austin Eileen.
[Eileen O'connor, Cnn Correspondent:] Well, they aren't, but is not surprising, according to aides in the Bush camp who say that, you know, Governor Bush has a history of bipartisanship. And of course, they also say, with a closeness of an election this election with the divisions in Congress that it is not that obviously he'll be looking at what they say is a host a list of a host of capable and able Democrats who can agree with his vision and his agenda. And he was hard at work today at the state capitol. He met with his chief of staff Andrew Card. He came back to the governor's mansion, but only after greeting a lot of schoolchildren outside on the steps of the state capitol. One Republican strategist put, it's all about imagery right now maintaining the image that this is the president-elect, that what the vice president is doing in Florida by contesting a certified election is about overturning the results of an election and taking away the presidency. And so Governor Bush wants obviously wants to appear presidential and stay above the fray, leaving it to his lawyers in Florida. His chief of staff Andrew Card saying that, of course, they are looking for a government that will unify the country.
[Andrew Card, Bush Chief Of Staff:] It's a good, comprehensive list that will reflect the governor's ability to bring people together. I'm not going to comment about any names.
[Question:] Is he making good progress [OFF-MIKE]?
[Card:] Oh, yes. The governor is very attentive to the responsibilities that he may have to assume; and he and Secretary Cheney have talked, so making a lot of progress.
[O'connor:] Obviously, the Bush campaign awaiting the vice president's remarks Natalie.
[Allen:] OK, thank you Eileen O'Connor.
