LOU WATERS, CNN ANCHOR: The first order of our day will be a live event in Clearwater, Florida at an assisted living center, where the governor Jeb Bush has just introduced his brother, George W. Bush, who is doing one of his town hall-style meetings. The subject of the day, health care and prescription drug proposals. This is that state, Florida, that was early on predicted to be in the Bush column. That's not so certain anymore. It's considered a tossup and George Bush is campaigning hard.</s>GEORGE W. BUSH (R-TX), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Thank you from the bottom of my heart. To those of the greatest generation, ... thank you from the bottom of my heart to those of the greatest generation. Thank you for your sacrifices.</s>WATERS: George W. Bush in Florida. He -- before winging his way to this event at the assisted living center was out at the airport telling reporters, I am going to carry Florida, I have got real plans for real people. But he was asked about the polls suggesting that Florida now is a toss up. To which, the governor replied "Don't blame on my brother" -- George Bush's brother, of course, is Jeb Bush, the governor of Florida -- "we're in good shape here. This is going to be a good state for me." And George Bush today is appealing to senior citizens in a state that has plenty of them on the issue of the federal responsibility to take care of seniors and give our seniors peace of mind. He is talking about his health care and prescription drug proposal. Al Gore will be campaigning later today with Oprah Winfrey. More about that as we proceed on CNN TODAY.
