...banner of the 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.

...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. Gramm is pouring resources into Iowa as well, but his goal is merely to fight to a draw, or come surprisingly close, to survive through New Hampshire's contest eight days later. If Dole succeeds, complains the struggling Lamar Alexander, the G.O.P. race will be decided even before...

During the past week, more than a dozen people perched themselves behind the same tatty 1819 writing table to fill out the Declaration of Candidacy form, which is kept on the shelf right next to the application forms for Notary Public. The registrants include not only Phil Gramm and Bob Dole but also the Rev. Billy Joe Clegg from Biloxi, Mississippi, whose slogan is "Clegg Won't Pull Your Leg" and who swears that Jesus is his campaign manager. There's also the poet and former seaman Michael Levinson from Buffalo, New York, who proposes a jobs program to build...

...uncertain. In the 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.
