((In accepting his party's nomination.. President Clinton laid out three themes
for a second term.. opportunity... responsibility... community.
PRESIDENT CLINTON: TONIGHT, LET US RESOLVE TO BUILD THAT BRIDGE TO THE 21ST
CENTURY,
TO MEET OUR CHALLENGES PROTECT OUR BASIC VALUES AND PREPARE OUR PEOPLE FOR THE
FUTURE.
On opportunity... the President cited his education and environmental
initiatives.. and also claimed the budget can be balanced but in a socially
responsible way.
CLINTON: AS LONG AS I AM PRESIDENT I WILL NEVER ALLOW CUTS THAT DEVASTATE
EDUCATION/POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT, END THE GUARANTEE OF HEALTH CARE UNDER
MEDICAID OR VIOLATE OUR DUTY TO OUR PARENTS UNDER MEDICARE. NEVER.
He called Bob Dole's 548 billion dollar tax cut a fiscally irresponsible
lesson that time had proved unworkable... yet proposed a narrow capitol gains
tax cut for homeowners..
And addressing the responsibility theme he called for tax credits for
employers who hire welfare recipients... it was an effort to appease those who
disagree with his acceptance of welfare reform.
On community... the president cited his signing of family leave.. and taking
on the tobacco industry to cut teen smoking.
The President's message however was overshadowed by the resignation earlier in
the day of Dick Morris... one of the president's closest campaign advisors..
and the creator of the 96 clinton/gore family campaign theme.
According to a tabloid report Morris allegedly paid a prostitute $200 an hour
for services for over a year and allowed her read drafts of the
vice-president's as well
as the first lady's convention speeches.
But on the convention floor the focus was the clinton/gore ticket... and
solidifying their double digit lead in the polls.
STANDUP REGINA BLAKELY/CHICAGO:
BUT EVEN AS POLLS SHOW A CLINTON GORE LEAD.. THEY ALSO SHOW THAT VOTERS
AREN'T QUITE SURE WHAT THE PRESIDENT WANT'S TO ACCOMPLISH IN A SECOND TERM..
