For President Bush, no small part of getting his way on Social Security is working his way to the districts of Republicans worried about job security.

With that thought, he traveled here Friday to appear at meetings with mostly hand-picked audiences in the districts of GOP Reps. Mike Ferguson of New Jersey and Chris Chocola of Indiana.

Just replace the emphasized phrase above with "completely hand-picked audiences for tightly-scripted propaganda events" and you'd actually have an accurate description of what is taking place.
