The spot accuses Dole of having "voted to cut the President's school antidrug efforts--by 50%" and goes on to accuse Dole of nondrug offenses, including having "joined with Newt Gingrich to cut vaccines for children." The ad, and probably others to follow, seeks to shift the battleground to Dole's whole record--wrong, in Clinton's eyes, on many popular issues--on the principle that the best defense is a good offense...
