What a politician does (or should be doing if s/he hopes to get elected) during the run-up to an election. It means to make contact with the voters by means of personal skin to skin contact (but hopefully non-sexual), such as shaking hands and kissing babies. In a general sense it implies getting out and getting in the face of as many different voters as possible because if they meet someone they're probably more likely to have a positive opinion of them than the candidates that they didn't meet in person.
Mr. Bush probably doesn't need to go out and press the flesh because he is running for re-election based on his first term record.

Get the press-a-pissmug. Press pressure is the act of one or more people pressuring you into answering questions so you can admit to doing something. This tactic is often used by FBI to interrogate criminals to confess to committing a crime, even if they didn't do it.
