...revolution. (He has called him "effective," though maybe not "comfortable" with it.) But that may not matter. What Gingrich needs is a Republican President, even a squishy one, to sign bills into law. He's already sketched the backdrop for the campaign. "When Bob Dole and Phil Gramm give a speech in New Hampshire, it's to a crowd of people who have Newt Gingrich's world view," says Norquist. If Dole wins, and Gingrich is still Speaker, it is hard to imagine the Republican President vetoing any major initiative that Congress sends to the White House...
...Campaign 1996 is already anything but normal. The leading contenders for the G.O.P. nomination are massing their troops for a possibly decisive showdown on Feb. 12 in Iowa. Bob Dole is moving organizers and money into the state in the hope of finishing off his chief rival, Senator Phil Gramm of Texas.

There's also the poet and former seaman Michael Levinson from Buffalo, New York, who proposes a jobs program to build...
...Senate, the support of majority leader Bob Dole will probably win the backing that Bill Clinton desires, and Dole's courage should not be minimized. With the exception of Senator Richard Lugar, all the other G.O.P. presidential candidates oppose Clinton on Bosnia--the most vocal being Phil Gramm, who, in declaring his position even before the President made his case, showed again that he seems never to have encountered a principle he won't rise above in the service of ambition. Dole knows what is coming ("I'll take some hits for this," he says), but he, more than most...
