If you mean Elizabeth Dole instead of Barb Dole, I don't think you have the right woman. She is too damned liberal for my tastes; a bigger gov't advocate in deed if not word. She was Sec'y of Transportation or some such thing in the Reagan Admin. and her big accomplishment was imposing the high-mounted third brake light on cars. More regulations, more regulators, more expensive vehicles, and not one prevented accident or dented fender, or saved life attributed to that farce.

The theory was that you could see through the front and back windows ahead of you and see brake lights going on before you could see the normal fender mounted ones. If you are in a car following a pickup or SUV you can't see the third brake light several vehicles ahead because of the height of the vehicle you are following. Since then, the third brake light has since been made even more useless by being relocated to the top of the trunk of most cars where you still may not see it even when looking through the glass of a normal car ahead.

All of these objections were known and argued when the regs were proposed, but to no avail, because Bureaucrats Rule!

I think Senatorette Dole would vote more often like Senatorette Clinton than like Jesse Helms.
