Bush-Cheney Set to Roll Out Ads

The Bush-Cheney campaign is set to air its first set of TV ads Thursday, two days after it became a virtual certainty that Sen. John Kerry would be the Democratic nominee. The campaign ads place President Bush in the context of the events of Sept. 11 and the ensuing efforts to combat terrorism. Hear NPR's Robert Siegel and NPR's Don Gonyea.

You're most likely to find NPR's Don Gonyea on the road, in some battleground state looking for voters to sit with him at the local lunch spot, the VFW or union hall, at a campaign rally, or at their kitchen tables to tell him what's on their minds. Through countless such conversations over the course of the year, he gets a ground-level view of American elections. Gonyea is NPR's National Political Correspondent, a position he has held since 2010. His reports can be heard on all NPR News programs and at NPR.org. To hear his sound-rich stories is akin to riding in the passenger seat of his rental car, traveling through Iowa or South Carolina or Michigan or wherever, right along with him.
