"He does have an advantage. That he is actually Governor now and he has pretty good access to the press whenever he wants it. He has a paid state staff that puts out press releases lambasting Senator Reid on the health care bill. They are constantly trying to get him in front of the news. So as far as getting him exposure, they’re pretty good at that. "
