Bush has held only twelve solo press conferences in his presidency, fewer than any other modern president ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio - ... the stated theme of Bush's 27th visit to this battleground state was his economic record and plan to encourage an "ownership society."

David Domke, author of _God Willing?_ and a prof at Univ of WA, says GW may have had the fewest press conferences but he also has had more public addresses than any other President.

More public addresses? Connecticut, Houston, Alabama, Austin, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave... Did I leave any out?

Yesssss, but aren't George Bush's public appearances, at least during this campaign, the most restrictive ever in terms of who is allowed to attend? He's good on the stump with his home base. Let him stray from that home base, and he can't deal with dissent. Bush is probably the most isolated president ever, and it is purposeful.
