...whole thing was to remain a surprise. But as word of Dole's plan spread just hours before the speech, the Republican Party began, as one Dole aide put it, "to flip out." G.O.P. chairman Haley Barbour thought Dole would be foolish to offend loyal gun owners (and big-time contributors) in order to court a larger audience.

Despite its bumpy start, the show has done that, eliciting a few newsmaking quotes in its first weeks from such guests as Republican National Committee chairman Haley Barbour.
