women politicians took to the podium to celebrate bob dole's accomplishments
and take aim at president clinton:
But kay bailey hutchison turned up the heat....with the help of a
slickly produced video show and a stream of unflattering adjectives hutchison
unabashedly bashed the clinton record:
While the women starred in prime time....house speaker newt
Gingrich was buried early on in the show with little attention and fanfare
....a concerted effort to erase memories of the conservative "Republican
revolution" that could scare voters away...
Bob dole watched the show from his hotel room...and later got an
emotional welcome from a veteran's group....dole gave veterans a preview of his
acceptance speech...which is expected to rely heavily on the pivotal time in
his life...his experience in world war 2......
The tone of the convention tonight is expected to soften...the attention
turning from attacks on clinton to glowing praise of
bob dole...among those offering insights will be his wife
