...Ronald Reagan me hizo comprender que los latinos son republicanos, s?lo que no lo saben todav?a?, dice Sosa, que ha participado en seis campa?as presidenciales. Con la ayuda de Sosa, George W. Bush logr? capturar el 40% del voto hispano, un incremento gigantesco sobre el 21% que recibi? Bob Dole en 1996. Ahora parcialmente jubilado, Sosa, de 66 a?os, se dedica a pintar y escribir (su ?ltimo libro, Think and Grow Rich: A Latino Choice, saldr? el pr?ximo a?o), pero si lo llaman en el 2008, volver? al campo de batalla electoral...
...second term in the U.S. House of Representatives. Florida Governor Jeb Bush has made several recruiting calls to Bense, who headed to Washington last week where he was serenaded by a powerful trio--the President's top political adviser Karl Rove, Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman and Elizabeth Dole, who heads the Senate committee for recruiting G.O.P. candidates...
Howard Baker, Dole's gentlemanly predecessor as Republican leader, was a master at putting a soothing arm on colleagues' shoulders to achieve cloakroom compromises.

"Howard," Dole concedes, "was a bit more careful than I am in saying, 'Now boys, what can we do to work...
...defense, Dole points out that he was able to stitch together a number of compromises last year. The most significant was a new five-year farm bill, for which Dole led the tortuous negotiations. It was a triumph for him when Reagan signed the measure last month. Last spring, however, Dole was denied a larger victory. Courageously, he rammed through the Senate a politically risky anti-deficit package, including a deferral of Social Security increases. But Reagan reneged on the deal, leaving Dole and other Senate Republicans dangling...
...Dole's foremost challenge this session will be pulling Congress and the White House together on a fiscal 1987 budget that will whack some $60 billion from the deficit and thus avoid the automatic cuts of the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings meatax. Addressing the American Farm Bureau Federation in Atlanta last week, he advocated economies across the board, sparing neither social programs nor Reagan's sacred defense buildup. He has also been prodding the White House, which distrusts Dole because of his skepticism about supply-side tax cuts, to be more realistic. Though he insists he will no longer lead...
