NEW BUSH AD GORES AL FOR FIBBING
Wednesday,November 1,2000

By DEBORAH ORIN

George W. Bush launched a TV
attack ad on character yesterday
that mocks rival Al Gore for
"bending the truth" about Social
Security as the two men battled for
undecided senior voters in the final
push.

Gore advisers claimed the ad
shows Bush is "desperate" - but
Bush aides pointed to polls that
show Bush expanding his national
lead and laughed.

Bush's new ad was also meant to serve as a preemptive
strike to blunt any impact if Gore hits the airwaves with a
last-minute ad claiming Bush isn't ready to be president.

Democratic sources say the Gore camp already has that
attack ad ready to go. Gore mediaman Bob Shrum refused
to comment.

It was Al Gore's Halloween nightmare

Bush is confident of win in
local visit
November 1, 2000

Associated Press

BELLEVUE -- It was Al Gore's Halloween nightmare -- George W.
Bush surrounded by adoring supporters in Washington state.

Meanwhile, Democratic activists held their own "Scary Hour" at a
Seattle rock club in hopes of persuading Ralph Nader supporters to
vote for Gore.

Bush had reason to celebrate a little as he visited Bellevue Community
College for a Tuesday night rally. A recent poll shows him locked in a
dead heat with Gore, in a state that was once considered safely
Democrat.

Bush takes the fight to Gore heartland
By Toby Harnden in Fresno



Gore gambles on Clinton providing the winning touch

IF George W Bush was concerned about President Clinton joining the
campaign trail yesterday on behalf of his rival, he was not letting it show as he
touched down in the traditional Democratic heartland of California.

"They're telling me the shadow's coming
back," he said above boos and whistles.
"That's okay. It's just to remind people that
we don't need four more years of
Clinton-Gore."

With some opinion polls showing him trailing
by just a few percentage points in California
but holding a slender lead nationwide, the
Texas governor was in the heart of territory
once considered safe for Mr Gore - and
forcing him to spend time and money there to protect it.

In a rapprochement that had seemed impossible after their bitter primary
contest, the maverick Senator John McCain introduced his former rival with
gusto, even comparing him to President Reagan. "I've heard the
Vice-President is coming to California tomorrow," he shouted. "We want to
welcome him to Bush Country!"
