...other hand, Bruce Cook, Democratic state central committeeman for St. Clair County, recalls a coal miner telling him that "once a guy makes $30,000 a year, he buys a riding lawn mower and votes Republican." These voters, many of them Reagan Democrats, are conservative on social issues. Cook admits that Dukakis' veto of a compulsory Pledge of Allegiance to the flag is not going to help.

Says Dem ocratic Ward Committeeman Jesus Garcia: "You can tell where you are from the sounds and the smell of the cooking. In Mexican areas people are doing the taco thing with beans and rice; in Puerto Rican areas it's roast pork and fried rice.
