The Democratic presidential contender was asked if she thought her message of the ominous 3am phone call scenario was working. She said, “I think it helps to dramatize for people what the stakes are. I’ve been saying in many different ways for a year, the stakes could not be higher, we face big challenges, we face real threats. I've been saying it over and over again. I think the jarring image of that phone call which happens and is part of being president helps concentrate peoples attention in a way that all the descriptives don’t. What I noticed in Texas were are the signs that said 'It's 3am."

Bush: Stakes Are High in Election
Friday, Feb. 08, 2008

(WASHINGTON) — Without naming John McCain, President Bush marshaled the conservative wing of the Republican Party on Friday to back the presumed GOP presidential nominee for the upcoming battle against the Democratic Party.

"The stakes in November are high. This is an important election. Prosperity and peace are in the balance," Bush told about 2,000 people attending the Conservative Political Action Conference. "So with confidence in our vision and faith in our values, let us go forward, fight for victory and keep the White House in 2008."
