...moment last week, two traits of Bob Dole the lawmaker came to the rescue of Bob Dole the candidate--the ability to swallow your pride and to make peace with your past. To arrive at the astonishing choice of Jack Kemp as his running mate, a man who has spent a good part of his political career spearing Bob Dole, required both.

Perot, by most accounts, would be a most happy fella to have Lamm on the ticket, but Lamm has demurred, a stance that doesn't make sense if Lamm wants to build the party and become the heir apparent...
