...around the room the faithful stirred. The culture warriors and evangelicals complained all week that they had won the platform and lost the podium, as a series of pro-choice, big-tent messengers dominated prime time. But as it turned out, the big speech really belonged to the devout. Dole mentioned abortion barely at all, but he placed himself so clearly in the hell-in-a-handcart camp that he had to pull back at the end and declare himself the "most optimistic man in America...
...Bush more than he hurt Clinton; 43% of Perot voters were independents, 31% were Republicans and 26% were Democrats. Lamm, on the other hand, having been a Democratic Governor and as a pro-choice environmentalist, may well hurt Clinton more--a point made by Lamm's wife Dottie, a devout Democrat and a friend of Hillary's who warned her husband that she doesn't want a Dole victory on her conscience.

As the summer unfolds, they will campaign against each other, symbolically if not substantively: Bob Dole went so far as to suggest that the First Lady aspirants have a debate, rather like...
...consumers, while Hillary spent 1993 trying to expand government and guarantee all Americans access to health care. If they ever sat down together, not to arm wrestle or debate but to share thoughts and trade stories, these two Methodist women might find themselves communing with all the equally devout, hopeful social reformers of their faith who over the past two centuries tried to use power to do good. And they might also wonder together about the price they pay for trying...
