...City, Ed Koch. Koch was elected three times not because voters trusted him or wanted their children to grow up to be like him, asserts Penn, but because he helped make sense of a confusing time. He talked and listened and talked some more. In the latest abc News poll, 73% of voters say having a caring President who "understands the problems of people" is more important than having a President with the "highest personal character." We have moved from the President as stern Father Knows Best to what Robert Bly in his book The Sibling Society suggests...
...Dole's campaign embarked on last week. It calls for a last-ditch effort to win California and its 54 electoral votes, even if that means neglecting smaller but more promising potential swing states like Connecticut, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. As justification, Dole's team points to one important poll, the San Francisco-based Mervin Field survey. Early last week it showed Dole just 10 points behind Clinton. That's a manageable gap, the argument goes. Close it, add a few big Midwestern states, and maybe, if turnout is good and God is a Republican, there's a base...
...crowds turning out for Dole were sparse. But for comfort he has in-house poll numbers that show him continuing to gain ground in California.

Or is it a soberly calculated admission of defeat--and a final effort on behalf of the G.O.P. by a man who has devoted his life to his party? In a panic over the prospect of losing the Republican Congress, Republican National Committee chairman Haley Barbour and House Speaker Newt Gingrich have been pushing Dole toward California, where 52 House seats...

Though the change would not overrule federal or state laws that criminalize the recreational use of marijuana, Prop 215 would provide voter-approved legal backing for patients or doctors who were hauled into court. A poll shows that California voters favor it by about...
...opponent was soft on Fidel Castro to maintain the G.O.P.'s lock on Florida's powerful Cuban-American community. But Bob Dole has nothing on Bill Clinton. The President has been courting that community, and to them he is now a hard-liner after their own hearts. A Miami poll has found that 41% of Florida's Cuban Americans plan to vote for Clinton, almost double what he won in 1992, finally giving him a chance to take the state he lost by a squeaker in 1992. It is one of the biggest triumphs of his campaign...
