"Walking around money," normally used to cover expenses such as lunch and transportation costs for poll workers, was given to Black ministers to stop the members of their congregation from voting, Rollins said.
Whitman's campaign manager Edward J. Rollins said that Whitman endorsed payments to ministers totalling $500,000, in connection with asking the ministers not to make strong efforts to get out the vote for Democratic incumbent Gov. Jim Florio.
"They've always been fearful of the right wing because they don't understand it," says former Reagan staffer Ed Rollins. "This was not a convention controlled by the right wing. This was a convention that was turned over to the right wing."
In any case, one thing is clear--the current GOP leadership will be hearing from both the more conservative and more liberal wings if it loses the White House today. "I think we've got a couple-year fight ahead of us," Rollins says.
But Rollins says he disagrees with such pessimistic predictions for the party, though he acknowledges that it could occur "if we basically let one wing of it take control."
