...Ventura is also intent on staying in his Minnesota laboratory awhile, and so he is looking for a front man. His initial candidate for the 2000 nod was former Connecticut senator and governor Lowell P. Weicker, a thoughtful type who was the kind of maverick, reformist governor Ventura tries to be (except that Weicker is several dollars short on charisma). Weicker uses the R-word a lot, and means it; as a liberal Northeast Republican, he is a conservatives' answer to Bill Bradley (maybe he would have really caught on had he been better at basketball...). More recently, Ventura...
...they do, they will likely nominate a moderate--the former Connecticut governor Lowell P. Weicker Jr.--for instance. Gore and Bush (or whomever the Democratic and Republican nominees) will be will have to think outside the box. The candidates will have to work hard--and really distinguish themselves--in order to get elected...
...congressional delegates won their last re-election campaign. The wealthiest state (per capita) in the U.S., its economy relies on defense: nuclear submarines, airplane engines and helicopters are produced here. The Constitution State has become increasingly Democratic since the '30s and in 1990 elected a third-party Governor, Lowell Weicker, founder of A Connecticut Party. This election should maintain the trend toward consistency: the incumbents are all running safe races except Democrat Sam Gejdenson of the Second District, who was re-elected by only 21 votes...
Over a six-month period beginning in September 1995, Ross Perot held a series of private meetings with fellow supporters of the third-party movement, ostensibly seeking their advice on whether and how to run again for President.

This time, the advisers said, he had to bring national-level politicians into the fold. He had to listen to their policy prescriptions and incorporate their ideas into...
Trouble is, the Reform Party can't even find someone to run for its top slot--other than Perot. Last week the most likely alternative, former Republican Senator and independent Governor Lowell Weicker of Connecticut, said he would not run. Any Reform Party nominee would have to bring his own bankroll or rely on those dread special interests, since campaign-finance laws prohibit Perot from spending his billions on anyone for President but himself. That means the Reform Party may wind up being about Ross Perot after...
