Inside Bush Campaign headquarters:

In contrast to the Dean headquarters in Burlington, Vt., there are no boxes of stale pizza, crumbled Diet Pepsi cans or volunteers in blue jeans on grungy sofas.

Instead, it feels a lot like the West Wing: fresh flowers, security checks, a big he-man photograph of Mr. Bush with day-old stubble at his Texas ranch, an army of well-dressed staff members. “Generally speaking, people conform to a certain sense of decorum,” said Terry Holt, the campaign press secretary, who never wears jeans to the office. “In this campaign, you have a responsibility to represent the president of the United States, and even if it is a campaign, it’s important to look that way.”

This may be a useful indication of what George Bush thinks America looks like.
