Bush had given his first real campaign speech of the season to Republican Governors, he invited five of them back to the White House for dinner and a chance to spend the night in the presidential mansion. Over a batter-dipped feast in his private dining room that would have given Dick Cheney's cardiologist the bends--fried shrimp, fried onion rings, corn on the cob, French fries, cole slaw and cheesecake--Bush was jovial, confident.
