Quayle vs. Bush: Compassionate quibbling

Quayle
Dan Quayle  

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (AllPolitics, June 17) -- As the pack of GOP presidential hopefuls try to gain some ground on the all-but-coronated Texas Gov. George W. Bush, former Vice President Dan Quayle is test-driving a new message. On his latest trip to New Hampshire, Quayle pitted what he called his "real compassion" against Bush's favorite campaign motto of "compassionate conservatism." Quayle visited a privately funded home for mothers battling drug addiction Thursday, calling the facility a good example of the compassion conservatives have shown for years. "Conservatives are compassionate," Quayle told reporters in Concord. "We care deeply about our friends and neighbors."

Dole denies she's running for vice president

Dole
Elizabeth Dole  

SAN JOSE, California (AllPolitics, June 17) -- Don't believe the rumors. Elizabeth Dole says she is not going through the motions of a campaign simply to lobby for the No. 2 job. "I am in it to win" the top job, she insists. Dole has formed an exploratory committee but has not officially proclaimed herself in the race for the 2000 GOP presidential nomination, as front-runner George W. Bush did last week. That has led to speculation that Dole is earning her credentials as a viable running mate, possibly for Bush. "Let me set the record straight: you do not go through this process, which is a rigorous one, to be vice president," she told reporters before a speech Wednesday. "If you enter the process, which I have, you do it to win." While Dole regularly places second to Bush in polls, the Texas governor's lead is commanding.

Bradley mines the Golden State

Bradley
Bill Bradley  

LOS ANGELES (AllPolitics, June 17) -- Presidential hopeful Bill Bradley is on the fifth day of a nine-day swing through the politically critical state of California. While his Democratic opponent, Vice President Al Gore, officially launched his bid for the party's nomination Wednesday and began a campaign swing through Iowa and New Hampshire, Bradley continued to avoid mentioning his rival. Still, the two Democrats are sounding similar themes, including children and the family. During a speech at Para Los Ninos, a daycare center in a rundown part of Los Angeles, Bradley pushed measures to help poor children. "After seven years of the first two-term Democratic administration since Franklin Roosevelt, the percentage of American children living in poverty has barely changed," Bradley said, though he avoided assigning direct blame to Gore or President Bill Clinton. The former New Jersey senator also visited the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center Thursday. He was also scheduled to go to the California Medical Center for a talk about gun violence.
