from a total Nevada perspective, how proud we are of the campaign he has been running in Nevada. The Senator from Massachusetts has run all positive ads. The people of Nevada recognize that and, as a result of that, all the polls show him ahead at this time. I compliment the Senator. When he comes to Nevada, he is totally open to the press. Each time he comes he answers any questions that the people have to ask him. The press is there. For example, last time he was there, he not only did a press conference but he was on individual programs, Ed Bernstein's show, for example, John Alston, where he was answering any questions they had to ask him. I compliment the Senator from Massachusetts from a Nevada perspective for the type of campaign that has been run. Positive campaigning is something that is so necessary. We have far too much negative campaigning. We need to make ourselves available to questions of the press. We should not hide ourselves from the press. Senator Kerry has not done that, which makes us in Nevada feel very good.
