One topic of discussion the press corps asked, was the "Hatch Act". Apparently the Hatch Act bars the President from using the White House proper as a platform for political endorsements and such. Please correct me if I'm off on this.

A Q&A session :

Q Dana, would you just tick off the Republican candidates that he called this morning?

MS. PERINO: I know that he reached -- I said it this morning -- Thompson, Romney, Huckabee. And then he was able to reach Giuliani a little bit later; he was in the mountain time zone and we didn't think it was appropriate to call him before the sun came up. He's been able to reach Duncan Hunter, as well.

Q But not Ron Paul?

MS. PERINO: Well, I don't believe Ron Paul has dropped out of the race yet. (Laughter.) But obviously, the President and Ron Paul have known each other for many years, from their time in Texas, and I'm sure they'll speak at some point in the future.
