CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: Campaigning is the story on Capitol Hill today. We're going to get more from our Washington deputy bureau chief, Steve Redisch.
Hey -- Steve. How are you?
STEVE REDISCH, CNN WASHINGTON DEPUTY BUREAU CHIEF: Good morning, Carol.
LIN: I was taking a look at President Bush's campaigning strategy, and it seems awful (ph) busy. I mean, how many cities is he going to, to campaign for candidates?
REDISCH: I've lost count. It's three cities today. It was three cities yesterday. Today, it's Middletown, Pennsylvania, where he'll stump for the gubernatorial candidate there, Mike Fisher, and Congressman George Gekas, and then it's on to Portsmouth, New Hampshire to campaign for GOP Senate nominee, John Sununu, who is the son of first President Bush's first chief of staff, General Sununu.
And then, it's on to Kentucky -- Louisville, Kentucky, where he'll stump for Republican congressional candidate, Congresswoman Ann Northup, in a district that has historically been one of the tightest in the country.
LIN: It helps when you have your own private plane, though, doesn't it?
REDISCH: It helps.
LIN: Yes, it helps a little bit.
In the meantime, we've got some unemployment figures coming out. It's the first Friday of the month.
REDISCH: The first Friday of the month. Every first Friday we have the month before unemployment figures, and all experts seem to believe that it's going to jump a little bit. It was 5.6 percent last month -- in September to 5.8 percent in October. How the markets will react, we'll see at 9:30.
LIN: Of course, if anybody is traveling this weekend, they might be interested in a conference that's going on there regarding homeland defense.
REDISCH: The acting transportation security administrator, Admiral James Loy, will participate in a conference on security and how it's being applied and where the possible holes are and how it can be done better. It's sponsored by George Washington University here in town, and other experts from various different companies will be there as well to see how you can better get through the maze at the airport.
LIN: All right, well, we're interested in that, for sure. Steve Redisch, thanks so much. We'll be watching for the stories coming out of the Washington bureau today.
