Bush in North Carolina, today:
Q Mr. President, does this John Edwards selection force you to spend more time in the South, and change your strategy in the southern states now?
THE PRESIDENT: I'm going to carry the South because the people understand that they share -- we share values that they understand. They know me well. And I am -- I believe that I did well in the South last time, I'll do well in the South this time, because the Senator from Massachusetts doesn't share their values, and that's the difference in the campaign.
Yes.
Q Will you have to spend more time, strategy-wise?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, talk to -- talk to the schedulers. I'm not the scheduler, I'm just a simple candidate. (Laughter.)
