President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have urged Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-Colorado) to seek re-election in 2004, the only Native American in the Senate told The Denver Post.

"Ben, you are running, aren't you?" Campbell said of the conversation with Bush.

When Cheney inquired: "I said, 'You may have to call my wife first.' And he said, 'Give me the number.' And I gave him the number."

Campbell is ready to run, he told The Post. A formal announcement is planned within eight to 10 months.
