The President has signed the emergency declaration -- resources for his visit would be taking people away from what they are doing right now and then Davis would be on the air complaining. You cannot bring AF One into all of this right now -- people are in the airports that cannot get out because of the fires.
Davis is behing a Clymer about all of this.

Yes, that's pretty much my take on things as far as Bush coming here now vs. in a few days. We need to put all resources toward the fire without trying to land AF1 and give him a tour.

However, Davis is on TV and in person in front of the hurting people.
That's precisely the thinking that gives him the governor's office and the GOP politicians ZERO.
GOP politicians always think that they can send staff.
They can't.
They need to show up in person.
The reason Clinton was re-elected was that the voters were seduced by his presence.
Bush needs to win California.
He's shooting the '04 election by not showing up in person.
