The republican's opening night was- a- made for television event
designed to showcase a unified party. dole's running mate in 76, gerald ford
spoke.. ,as did george bush who defeated dole in `88 for the nomination.
And for organizers, who better than to get the message across than popular
retired General Colin Powell.
The crowd loved powell... and there was even applause when he spoke
about abortion and affirmative action.. issues he and dole do not see eye to
eye on .
COLIN POWELL/ RETIRED GENERAL:
"YOU KNOW I BELEIVE IN A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE, AND I STRONGLY
SUPPORT AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.. E ARE A BIG ENOUGH PARTY AND BIG ENOUGH PEOPLE TO
DISAGREE ON INDIVIDUAL ISSUES AND STILL WORK TOGETHER."
Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
The most emotional moments of the evening came from a sentimental
tribute to ronald reagan. reagan has alzheimer's disease and was too ill to
attend..nancy reagan spoke on his behalf.
NANCY REAGAN, FORMER FIRST LADY.
I can tell you with certainty that he still sees the shining city
on the hill...
Bob dole watched it all from his hotel room. his wife Elizabeth was cheered
on the convention floor.
While last night's session focused on unity...tonight's session

promises republicans say have been broken by the clinton whitehouse.
