He was for email before he was against it.

Candy Crowley: We are with the Republican presidential nominee, George W. Bush. Thank you for joining us for your first online, on-air news interview. This is a complicated process here, at least for you and I, so let me set the stage for our viewers and our listeners.

This is an online news interview. Participants are now logging into CNN.com. They're submitting their questions live for you. To allow those online participants who couldn’t join us live to benefit, we have taken questions by e-mail prior to this. We’ve done this sort of thing in the past.

Now, participants can watch this interview on CNN.com, but they can also watch it live on CNN, on CNN International, on CNNfn, and they can listen to it on CNN’s radio affiliate station. So everybody’s watching and listening. Shortly after the conclusion of this interview, an on-demand transcript for the interview and a complete transcript of the interview will be available at CNN.com.

So having said that, there are lots of questions. But you know, here I am, so I have to ask you the first. Do you go online? I mean do you use this technology at all?

George W. Bush: I do. I do. Not only do I do it, I use it personally at my home in the governor’s mansion in Austin. Generally, I’m an e-mail person. I e-mail my brothers. Hopefully, my daughters will e-mail me when they get to college. Matter of fact, at my convention speech, I encouraged them to do so.

Our campaign has a Web page that encourages people to log on and to learn more about me and express their opinions, one way or the other. I’m told we have thousands of hits. And so the Internet is becoming more and more widespread, and not only personally, but in terms of politics.

OK. I listened very carefully and I heard this: NOTHING but music. I'm listening to an instrumental. Next up: Walk Idiot Walk. How appropriate. ;-)

aliceg - ugh. I'm listening. It's hard not to when the sound is so irritating that it makes my teeth grind. Yes I can! - tune it all out. /puts on headphones.

Yes indeedy - it's silly season. The Law of Survival is now in effect: "It is not who is right, it's whose left."

Homelesseus - What has happened? The country got into a bad relationship a few years back and it hasn't been the same since.

If the all-knowing almighty Commander Guy has a direct line to God like he says - why does he need help spying on people?

"Do you want to go down in history as the one to prevent a black from winning the White House?"

Everyone hurry up! Pack your bags! We're going on a guilt trip.
