A governor's guarantee goes further than votes

In an interview with Tom Brokaw that aired this weekend, President Bush said that during a Wisconsin rally just days prior to the election, the governor whispered in his ear and said Bush was guaranteed a win there in that state. Did Brokaw not catch that? He didn't follow up with a question to see what exactly was meant by 'guarantee.' Recall, the governor of Florida guaranteed Bush a victory in 2000. A governor guarantee could go a long way, further than votes. I'm not trying to be too alarmist, maybe the governor was just expressing his hope and gut feeling. But with 2000 as prelude, I think it's just a little disturbing that Bush practically admits to having Governor Jim Doyle in his pocket. And on top of that, the nation's top broadcast journalist didn't catch it. According to Bush, Doyle didn't say I think you'll win, he said, I guarantee you a win. Ten electoral votes at stake in what's considered a battleground state and a questionable outcome looms already. Watch it carefully.
