Additionally, the socially conservative and tax-cutting factions of the Republican party can rejoice at Tuesday's results. Whitman's uphill struggle to rally conservatives behind her pro-choice, pro-gay rights campaign may force future moderate Republican candidates to think twice before alienating that crucial bloc of support. Likewise, Gilmore's victory in Virginia on the wings of his anti-auto tax pledge proves that when it comes to exploiting taxpayer discontent, nobody beats...
Whitman also has party problems. New Jersey is increasingly Democratic turf. Clinton carried it by 18 percentage points in 1996, and Democrat Robert Torricelli won last year's Senate race by 10 points. Whitman is also learning how perilous life is these days for moderate, pro-choice, pro-gay rights Republicans like herself. Only 67% of New Jersey Republicans rated her favorably in a recent poll. Her veto of a partial-birth-abortion ban alienated many conservatives in this highly Roman Catholic state. The Christian Coalition plans to distribute 1 million election guides reminding voters of her stance. The beneficiary...
...triumvirate of Governors William F. Weld '66 of Massachusetts, Pete Wilson of California, and Christie Todd Whitman of New Jersey were hailed as the future saviors of the Republican Party.

With their message of keeping the government out of the pocketbook and the bedroom, they could sell the all-important swing voters of the '90s-white middle- and upper-middle...
Customers who signed up for the service of a Christian Right long-distance company may soon see some of their monthly payments transferred to a prominent pro-choice group instead. In January, Planned Parenthood began garnishment proceedings against AmeriVision Communications Inc., the parent company of LifeLine, a phone service that bills itself as a moral alternative to what it describes as "pro-gay, pro-liberal values" carriers like AT&T and MCI. LifeLine diverts 10% of payments to a cause checked off by its 1.2 million customers. Last year it raised more than $10 million for charities that include several...
...problem as I see it is that no preconceived notion of what gay people are could ever possibly be correct. At the meeting, there were people of all different racial and economic backgrounds. Some were even Republicans. And I'm sure that every one of the people present had some different conception of what it meant to be "sensitive to gay issues" or "pro-gay rights...
