Casting aside pretenders, the Dole Campaign weighed in with its own official World Wide Web page Tuesday night. Among the features: "Dole Coast to Coast," "Dole Interactive" and a way to get a free bumper sticker. The Dole site comes partially in response to the parody "Bob Dole for President" site that has already reserved a more prestigious Internet address (http://www.dole96.org/). (Their slogan: "Dole.

...into low gear until Powell gives some clearer sign of his intentions. The other committee is the Exploratory Draft Colin Powell for President Committee, led by a group of black Republicans. They have sent a letter to Powell urging him to run, appointed regional and state coordinators and printed bumper stickers and buttons, and they vow to collect 20,000 signatures per state by the end of the summer...
