Well, I do not know because President Bush flip-flops. So maybe he is referring to President Bush after he decided to support it. The gentleman from Texas (Mr. DeLay) flip-flops, and maybe he is referring to himself. Maybe he is referring to the families of the 9/11 victims who were the leading proponents of an independent commission. He may have been referring to Democrats who were, in fact, running for President, or who a year later ran for President, such as Senator Kerry and Howard Dean and others who did support this. Most Democrats supported it, but the majority of the Americans supported it, and I do not think the majority of Americans ran for President.
