Dole seemed pleased. Says Utah Senator Bob Bennett, who participated: "That may have been the first time that Dole realized that it was not an either-or choice. Here were serious economists, not supply-side ideologues, saying yes, you can get greater growth in the economy by cutting taxes and you can remain a deficit hawk at the same time." Weeks later, though, Dole intimated to a vanquished rival from the primaries, publisher Steve Forbes, that he was still not altogether convinced.

"They look at the character debate as a cover for party politics as usual," says Gen-X pollster Jefrey...
...high in Louisiana's closely contested Senate race, which pits Landrieu against conservative Republican Louis ("Woody") Jenkins. When Fields finally endorsed Landrieu last week, it ended a feud that threatened not only to split the party but also to scuttle Democrats' chances of keeping the seat of retiring Senator Bennett Johnston.
