He generally has a morning photo opp that is kept a close secret even from the pool photographers who are the only journalists allowed to accompany him.</I><BR/><BR/><I>We are not getting to put questions to him with the same frequency that we did in the 2006 campaign. On that campaign, every reporter travelling with him got to ask at least one question a day. This time around, his staff is restricting us to 10 questions a day -- eight from the press travelling with him and two for reporters from the region we are travelling in. Because there are more than eight national reporters, we must rotate and, as a result, we get just one question -- no followup -- every other day.</I><BR/><BR/><I>Some, like a <A HREF="http://davidakin.blogware.com/blog/_archives/2008/9/18/3890625.html#1167967" REL="nofollow">commenter here</A>, urge us to ask followups on certain issues.
