Linda's been in there far too long.If the President takes this much convincing,it doesn't bode well. I can feel it...his hesitation on the other side of that door.I know it's pointless to worryuntil I know what cards I'm holding.Perhaps he just got interrupted by some...He wants to tap Raymond Tusk. What? He thinks it's a bold idea.It's an idiotic idea. The man's never held public office.That's one of the things the President said he likes about him.The President wants to nominatea multibillionaire in a struggling economy?He'll alienate half the country.Which is exactly what I said,but he made it very clearhe does not want me to fight him on this. So you didn't mention me at all? I never had the chance.His mind was made up before I could say a word.Well, we have to unmake it.Well, you can try, but if you do,my guess is he's gonna cut you out of the process altogether.He seemed adamant.We should go in there. Mr. President. Morning, Frank.Will you give us a few minutes, Linda?Of course.Linda fill you in?I think Raymond Tuskis an exciting, bold idea.Well, I'm glad you agree. Linda didn't think so.He's a proven businessman. Brilliant, but downtoearth.Do you know him personally?
