...team had been running background checks on a short list of Republican Governors and Senators that did not include Kemp. But from time to time Dole would startle some aides by asking, "What about the quarterback?" During the last week of July, Dole secretly dispatched his campaign manager, Scott Reed, to meet with Kemp and "test the waters." Reed was a logical go-between. He had worked on Kemp's 1988 presidential campaign and then served him as chief of staff when Kemp became Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under George Bush.

For a while he had been keen to reach back to the Bush years for former Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, but the onetime Wyoming Congressman, who has had a coronary bypass, wanted to remain in retirement. Michigan Governor John Engler got on Dole's bad side when he urged Newt Gingrich to shut down the Federal...

Coalition officials say Liebert erred by taking her complaints outside the organization. Through her attorney, Liebert says she mentioned her concerns to coalition executive director Ralph Reed, who failed to act promptly on them. Ben Hart, an owner of Hart Conover, is one of Reed's golfing chums. Hart Conover denies any wrongdoing...
