This was great for Bauer, who has long labored in the shadow of the other baby-faced Christian activist, Ralph Reed. Yet Bauer professes to be mystified by Dole: "We prayed together in his office recently, and I gave him a lot of help on his Hollywood speech." By making the fight personal, Dole got everyone so caught up in skirmishing that most of the coverage missed the central fact that Dole hasn't changed his commitment to ban most abortions--or the actual party plank--one iota.

...Dole took Barbour aside and told him he was going to resign both jobs. Barbour was as relieved as he was astounded. Reed pushed Dole to make the announcement on May 7, but Senate business intervened. Instead, May 15 was chosen. Dole, Reed and Helprin all agreed that the speech should be short and poignant. Dole discussed with them whether to include a section contrasting himself with Clinton, but then demurred. Although he was resigning, he had come to praise, not to bury...
