The VP addresses a campaign rally for Republican congressional candidate Gus Bilirakis Friday in Tampa, Fla. Bilirakis is running for Florida's 9th Congressional District seat being vacated by his father, Rep. Mike Bilirakis, R-Fla. [I like the VP's green tie.]

In this handout photo provided by the U.S. Navy, former President George Bush stands with Adm. John B. Nathman, left. Adm. Nathman serves in the dual role of Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces Command and Commander, U.S. Atlantic Fleet.

Standing with them is the prospective commanding officer for the aircraft carrier George H.W. Bush (CVN 77), Capt. Kevin E. O'Flaherty [how's that for an Irish name :) ]. They attended the last of 162 super lift evolutions scheduled during the construction of the ship, Saturday, July 8, 2006, in Newport News, Va. The last lift placed the ship's 700-ton island superstructure in position on the flight deck. CVN-77, the 10th and last Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, is scheduled for delivery to the U.S. Navy in late 2008. (AP Phtoto/U.S. Navy, Robert J. Stratchko).
