FRANK SESNO, CNN ANCHOR: What a difference a few days makes in campaign 2000. After the anxiety and the fallout of Super Tuesday, the primaries continue, though, now with little more than mere formality. Given decisions by Bill Bradley and John McCain to bow out, low voter- turnout is expected in both Colorado and Utah, the two states holding presidential primaries today. Republicans in Wyoming are also holding non-binding county conventions. The all but certain nominees, Republican George W. Bush and Democrat Al Gore, are shifting their strategies to winning the national contest in November. And Bush says he hopes to draw McCain's supporters to his campaign with issues such as education, tax relief and health care. The Texas governor is back home in Austin today. CNN's Patty Davis joins us now with something of an update. Hello, Patty.</s>PATTY DAVIS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hello. Governor George W. Bush will be keeping an eye on those three races in Wyoming, Utah and Colorado today. We were told earlier that he might have a press availability sometime following, when those polls close. We are now told that he will not. He is taking the day off, and he is spending it here in Texas. Now, yesterday, George W. Bush had kind words for Arizona Senator John McCain, as McCain announced that he was suspending his campaign. Back channels now at work, trying to repair that relationship after a bitter campaign and the resulting rift in the Republican Party. Bush and McCain did talk by phone, however, yesterday, a first step, perhaps, toward a face-to-face meeting between those two candidates. The next step for Bush in his quest for the Republican nomination: just how to go about convincing McCain's supporters to come over to his camp. Now, that will be particularly crucial. McCain had much success in attracting moderate Republicans and independents. And Bush will need those types of voters, when it comes to meeting the likely Democratic nominee in the fall, and that is Vice President Al Gore. I'm Patty Davis, CNN, live in Austin, Texas.</s>SESNO: Thanks, Patty.
