Tom and Tara,

What follows is a research update from Hildebrand Tewes on our initial
research on the top GOP Pres candidates.  See attached for three newly
drafted documents - one for each of the top 3 GOP candidates.  We
combined our pre-focus group research with our "Ties to Bush" research
and the Bio research to create one document per candidate (we have the
same info available for McCain and Thompson as well).  To date our
initial research includes the following sections:

1.      Biography

2.      Iraq

3.      Health care

4.      Energy

5.      Special interests and money

6.      Extremism

7.      Personal corruption

8.      Affection for the status quo

9.      Economy

10.  Ties to Bush (includes the six sections listed below)

a.       "I Love Bush" Statements

b.      Endorsements 

c.       Comments

d.      Contributions: Solutions America PAC

e.       Fundraisers

f.        Events

In addition, as of today, we have collected 30 pictures of Bush and the
top GOP candidates.  I have attached a few examples to give you a sense
of the photo part  of this project.    We look forward to talking next
week and making the next set of plans for the rest of this month and
into January.
