But he wasn't planning on that in the first place, ... My son is very guarded about his privacy and so forth. And so he's chosen not to come, and I said that's fine.
But I'm not going to characterize what went on in those meetings, other than to say flatly I did not, and have not, offered anybody the vice presidency.
I'll stand up for what I believe in whether it's popular or not, and I think that is lacking in this country. What you're seeing now, not only on the part of President Bush but on the part of the Democrats as well, is they'll promise you a tax cut and health insurance and lower college tuition and fully funded special education.

I can't stand there and listen to everyone else's opinion for eight hours about how to fix the world,
I don't think Democrats are ever going to be a national party unless we bring our message to every state.
I am no longer actively pursuing the presidency,
I believe Iowa should be first. But I think they're going to have to change their process to prohibit that kind of behavior inside the caucuses, because if that were to continue, I wouldn't do it again.
