For campaign manager, Lacy selected Scott Reed, a cool bureaucrat who had no ties to Dole but who had run the Republican National Committee for Haley Barbour.

He wanted to know how much he would need to raise to mount a challenge to Dole; they said about $10 million between now and the February starting gun.
