CATHERINE CALLAWAY, CNN ANCHOR: The D.C. sniper, Iraq, always politics going on. We turn now to our Washington deputy bureau chief, Steve Redisch, for a look at what's on tap inside the Beltway today and joining us live to tell us all.
Good morning -- Steve.
STEVE REDISCH, CNN WASHINGTON DEPUTY BUREAU CHIEF: Good morning.
CALLAWAY: President Bush has a busy schedule on the road today.
REDISCH: President Bush goes to Maine and Pennsylvania for a couple of welcoming addresses, short stops and then back to the White House today.
CALLAWAY: You know, we've been talking about this sniper case and the ripple effects that it has, and now, it's actually playing into the governor's race in Maryland.
REDISCH: It's definitely playing into the politics of the area. Today, Sarah Brady -- the wife of Jim Brady, the former Reagan press secretary, who was shot via an assassination attempt against the former president -- will go to Annapolis, the state capital of Maryland, and endorse Kathleen Kennedy Townsend for governor in what seems to be a political gun control type of event.
CALLAWAY: Yes, gun control is definitely coming up in light of the sniper incident.
Hey, before we leave, Steve, tell me about some of the moves that are taking place there in D.C. in trying to comfort people. The Talk to Somebody campaign? Is that what it's called?
REDISCH: There is -- we are going to go out and cover a news conference today. Talk to Somebody is sponsored by the American Counseling Association. They're going to hold a news conference. They've got a toll-free number for people here in the area, up and down the I-95 corridor between Washington and Richmond, for anyone who feels anxiety or needs someone to talk to about how to deal with the situation that we face here in the Washington area.
CALLAWAY: A difficult situation. Hey, Steve, has it changed the way you operate, the way you go about your personal business there?
REDISCH: I do kind of look over my shoulders when I walk the dogs.
CALLAWAY: Yes.
REDISCH: But for the most part, it hasn't changed the way me or my family has done business.
CALLAWAY: Yes, life goes on, doesn't it?
REDISCH: Definitely.
CALLAWAY: All right, Steve, have a goody day. That's Steve Redisch, our Washington deputy bureau chief.
