Hoping to amplify the voices of the far right, Ellis said, the Administration could conduct a series of appointments, programs and speeches designed to raise the ire of religious fundamentalists--and Republican activists--like Rev. Pat Robertson and Rev. Jerry Falwell.
Ellis also detailed the takeover of many state Republican party organizations by the Christian right, a phenomenon which he said is splitting the party and harming its national viability.
Ellis warmed that the Republicans must avoid "the classic trap of 'If the incumbent is unpopular, and I'm not the incumbent, then I will win'" stressing that Republican candidates still lose to Clinton in polls.
Ellis said he sees the presidential election of 1996 being battled out in California, with the Republicans turning to Gov. Pete Wilson as a Vice Presidential candidate to help on that score.
Ellis predicted, however, that Clinton will indeed be re-elected.
