Whether or not he goes looking for advice, advisers come looking for him. Two weeks ago, a group of Senators approached Dole and urged him to use them regularly as sounding boards. A few days later, they faxed talking points on trade and other matters to his campaign plane; Dole surprised them by using the material. Meanwhile, campaign manager Scott Reed has reached out to a group of elected officials, from House Speaker Newt Gingrich to New Hampshire Governor Steve Merrill, to help Dole sharpen his message...
