In person and on television, New York's little-known Republican gubernatorial candidate Andrew O'Rourke is using a cardboard cutout of Democratic Governor Mario Cuomo to deride his popular opponent as "one-dimensional." South Dakota Congressman Tom Daschle, a populist Democrat hoping to unseat incumbent Senator James Abdnor, juxtaposes shots of long, gleaming limousines purring around Washington with , pictures of his own 1971 Pontiac wearily chugging toward the Senate Office Building...
