KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: Also George W. Bush filed his absentee ballot in Austin, Texas, early this morning, and just a short time ago he met with reporters for some Q&A; on his Super Tuesday win. Let's take a listen.</s>GEORGE W. BUSH (R-TX), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: John is going to decide whether he is going to continue on. It is his choice to do so. I know I'm continuing on, and then we will resolve any differences we have at a later date. I'm confident we will be able to do so. He raised a good campaign. He was a tough competitor. And in terms of Vice President Gore's statement last night, he said a lot of things last night, including getting rid of soft money. First thing he needs to do is debate Bill Clinton on soft money. It was just last week that Bill Clinton was bragging about how much soft money he had raised. This is an old ruse, it seems like to me. It is an attempt to divert the attention of America away from what has been going on in Washington, D.C. for seven years. As I said last night, I would be glad to ban soft money, be glad to work with Vice President Gore to getting rid of soft money so long as there's paycheck protection. If Vice President Gore is serious about ridding our system of soft money, then he needs to work with me to say that people who are members of the unions ought to be allowed to decide whether their money gets spent on campaigns or causes. As to debates, I'm sure there is going to be a lot of debates. I look forward to them.</s>PHILLIPS: Once again, that was George W. Bush talking with reporters in Austin, Texas, since his big Super Tuesday win.
