Former Montana Gov. Marc Racicot met George W. Bush as the two were on the way to a restroom at a national governors conference in 1995.
As fellow governors from Western states, the two struck up a strong friendship after working on issues, such as forest health and highway policies.
Now President Bush has put his 2004 re-election in the hands of Racicot (pronounced ross-co).

Arizona Republic reporter Chip Scutari chatted with Racicot this week after he announced Arizona's campaign team for Bush.
He talked about the difficulty of nine candidates "nipping at the president's heels every day," Bush's tax cuts and why his old friend will win re-election in November 2004.
