Republicans too are endangered by their connections with the scandal. One example is Congressman Charles Pashayan of California. A six-term veteran who appeared safe, Pashayan is now struggling to survive a challenge from Democrat Cal Dooley because the Congressman accepted $26,000 from Charles Keating's Lincoln Savings & Loan four years ago. In Oregon, Republican Denny Smith is also vulnerable. He was a director of a failed S&L, and Democrats charge that he tried to influence federal regulators. His opponent, Mike Kopetski, a former state legislator, had a 10-point lead last week. Ironically, Smith won his seat...

"The state should get out," he said in the initial joust in Bennington, because, among other things, every Vermonter now owes $12,000 toward the national debt. "How can you love the country and leave it?" countered Dooley, noting that a "cute little government will not stop acid rain." At debate's end, the audience voted 95 to 55 in favor of going it alone...
...stage a series of debates on whether the time had come for the Green Mountain State to declare its independence. The Vermont Statehood Bicentennial Commission selected political scientist Frank Bryan of the University of Vermont to argue for seceding from the Union and State Supreme Court Justice John Dooley to argue for staying...
