...painting Dukakis as a liberal outsider. Bush allies have drafted some 50 different appeals to specific groups of Texans to be banged home by local TV commercials and direct mail. In Abilene, for example, where B-1 bombers are based, the G.O.P. will charge incorrectly that Dukakis may scrap the program; messages beamed to the predominantly Roman Catholic Hispanics in the Rio Grande Valley will stress Bush's opposition to abortion.
