John,..OT Depressing as hog snot about Quayle! Guess the Repubs are never going to get their act together since they've managed to alienate most if not all moderates in the past two elections. <g> Regards, Lee

OT Holes ... Why is Bush popular? Because he looks good and carries the cachet of coming from presidential 'stock'? I watch the political press very closely and I don't know squat about him. E. Dole is a conservative, very popular with certain segments of the party. But she is not a spontaneous person and I think totally lacking in charisma. But on the excitement factor, I rate her as nosing out Gore (who has to be the dullest politician I have ever heard!). If she headed the GOP ticket I think that a lot of women might reconsider voting GOP (remember the gender gap?). And she has managed to distance herself from the impeachment debate (which I think will be mandatory for any GOP candidate). I think the religious right will once again call the shots. They organize well, and follow through. But I think they will continue the process of marginalizing the Republican Party. Whether she will pass muster with the ideologues is hard to say at this point. So her candidacy will depend to a great extent on the religious right. I wonder, as ex-head of the Red Cross, whether she believes there is credible evidence that cigarette smoking causes cancer (her hubby Bob didn't seem to think so in the last election -- but then the tobacco lobby was a major contributor to his campaign). Bradley ... I've read a lot that Bradley has written, and this man has major league brains. He is highly critical of the typical Democratic platform, and has shown himself to be an independent thinker. His problem is that he is so brilliant that many people may simply not understand what he is talking about. While not exactly exciting, he is certainly more dynamic than Gore (which isn't saying much). Question is, will the Democratic establishment feel comfortable with a political free-thinker? TTFN, CTC
