DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: About a half-hour from now, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney have their first road stop on what's going to be a very long road trip.</s>BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: Downtown Casper, and if you've been there, it's not that big of a town. Here's Bill Schneider up in Washington to talk more about this. And they are off and running, have they set a pretty good pace, though, or not?</s>WILLIAM SCHNEIDER, CNN SR. POLITICAL ANALYST: Oh yes, they've started off pretty well, I think they made the points they wanted to make yesterday. I mean, look, two conservative middle-aged white men doesn't look like a very dramatic ticket. But they wanted to send a message, I think Cheney said he wants to restore cooperation and civility in Washington. And that's how Bush is attempting to reach out to swing voters, not ideologically, because Cheney is very conservative, but by saying he is going to restore civility in Washington. He's not a harsh partisan.</s>KAGAN: And on that very adult behavior, some saying it looks like George W. Bush picked a grown-up for his running mate.</s>SCHNEIDER: Well, that's funny, because, you know, we heard a lot of Republicans come on the air yesterday and say: Finally, a grown-up in the White House. And I thought what they were trying to do was take a swipe at Bill Clinton.</s>KAGAN: Right.</s>SCHNEIDER: But I wonder what that says about George W. Bush, their -- the head of their ticket.</s>HEMMER: All right, Bill. Hey listen, thanks for stopping by, that event's going to start within the next 30 minutes, we'll be back in touch.</s>SCHNEIDER: OK.
