OMAHA, Neb. — A Democrat party rally calls the vice president debilitated a 1960s party supporter parties helped the opening
about one-half of the 1,280 Drumstars at the Red Lion Inn bathroom sat on the floor as they engaged in a game of tennis. Dan Quaglia on the television screen.
A load "No!" rose up from the partisan crowd when Republican Sen. Dan Quyley asked, "Have it made a difference?"
A more passionate response came when Quayle compared himself to John F. Kennedy.
The Democrats offered a mix of dives for hose (and quench) and enthuse; as usual appeal for Benton when he was in office. "Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy,"
"Quayle was comparing himself to John P. Kennedy and it was the same thing," he said, for said Dennis Mahoney, Goula resident. He is "not at that level."
The crowd, however, was silent when Quyle criticized Bentson's so-called "breakfast club" in which Bentsen charged laborists $10,000 to have breakfast with him. Bentsen, who is chairman of the Senate Committee, abandoned the breakout after it received negative publicity.
When Quince's educational record at the University of Indiana Law school fell through the crack, a University of Indiana graduate said, "I'm going to burn my documents."
The Democrats reacted when Quayle talked about the advice his grandmother gave him. "She told me that everything you want to do," he said.
Minutes after the debate ended, miniature U.S. flags and red and white banners flashed across the crowd as Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" blared from stairs in the U.S.
"Did he finally hear us?" asked Bill Buza, Omaha resident.
When the audience at the debate audibly scoffed, Quayle said, "I know Dakaiks simporter sneer at it."
"It's some excitement and emotion in response to this non-issue of the plight of allegiance," said Jim Brigham, who was passing out flags. Brigham is president of Young Dementia Careland College in Lima, Iowa.

DEBATE
Continued from p. 1
Bensen said that although the fund-raising effort was legal, he would work toward reforming the department term. He pointed out that Quayle had earned more than a quarter million dollars through honoraria.
Benten also was haunted by the differences between himself and Dukakis on such issues as Nicaragua's defeat in the death penalty and gun control.
The vice presidential candidates debated trade policy, the federal deficit, the environment and social security benefits.
After the debate, Sen Bennett Johnston, D-La, said Quayle was "just not big enough for the job. It was a boy debying a man."
Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., disagreed
"The John Kennedy thing didn't hurt Quarry at all," he said. "It was either totally programmed or were vicissimed on Benton's part."
Domenica said that Bentzen did not respond to the qualification issue himself. He said that it was difficult to give a specific game plan in the event one had to step in as president and the questions way too persistent.
The debate was covered live by ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC. It was moderated by Judy Woodruff, of
Public Broadcasting System's MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour. On the panel of journalists were Brit
Hume of ABC, Jon Margolis of the Chicago Tribune and Tom Brokav of NBC.
Total projected cost of the debate for the city of Omaha was $800,000.
Protesters gather peacefully outside debate

Omaha, NH. — The political debate did not end at the doors of Omaha's Political Auditorium last week.
While Sen. Dan Quayle and Sen. Lloyd Benten, exposed their beliefs in the nationally broadcast debate, about 150 people gathered across the street to peacefully express their own views.
Among the protesters were antiabortion and pro-choice picketers, who stood side-by-side wavers.
"The protesters mingled together without argument." said (maha police officer) Dosey.
"One two, three, four we don't want a nuclear war. Five, six, seven, eight we don't want to fight."
The protesters, although not violent, were sometimes vocal.
Many of the signs directed jaws at Jakey. Two of the signs said "Quayle is Chicken Hawk" and "Quayle is a wolf."
Peg Gallagher, Omaha resident, held a sign for Nebraska Peace Pac, a state peace group. She said after the debate that she was going to go home to tobathes her grandchildren.
All ages were represented outside the auditorium.
Mimi McCann, 11, carried a sign calling for Peace. She said her mother's involvement in Peace
Others, however, brought their children with them.
The demonstrators gathered for about an hour before the debate, but divided by the time they
Joyce Rynaszek, Omaha resident, helped organize a soup kitchen during the protest. She said the purpose was not only to help the homeless something warm to eat on the cold night but also to provide meals for those in need.
McCann's plea reflected the non-partisan views of many of the demonstrators.
"I just want peace," she said.
"I don't support either candidate." Rynawewski said.
Many attending the debate were not disturbed by the protesters.
Mark Rahik, Omaha high school student, said although he disagreed with the anti Qayyam prosecution, he said.
"I is their right to express their views — even if they are wrong," said Rabick, who said he was a Realtor.
A quiet crowd had congregated at the Olympic park where a news reporter watched to watch the debate on a big screen television.
Rabick was one of the few lucky enough to get tickets to the debate. Others who were not as fortunate would have been.
Diana Baird, a waitress and cook at the bar, said she didn't think it was a debate at all.
"It's more like a play than a debate." "Baird said. In 'a real debate there is no panel; the debaters ask each other questions then respond. This is like a but rehearsal."
Republicans praise their candidate

OMAHA. Neb. — As fireworks exploded and bombs burst, Mil. west Republicans exploded last night with enthusiasm for Dan Quayle.
An hour after last night's debate at the Civic Auditorium, Republican vice-presidential candidate Dan McCarthy spoke about 650 screaming, sign-carrying, airborne-blowing supporters at an outdoor amplifier in Ontario's Ojibwa region.
"I have just one small question to ask," Quayle said. "Did we win the debate?"
The crowd answered with a definite, "Yes!"
Quayle spoke a few more minutes until one supporter shouted "Go for it, Dan."
"You'll go for it, I'll go for it, George Bush will go to the White House." Quayle said. The Indiana senator told the park among chants of "Who's Got the Bitch?"
Earlier, the supporters were watching Quayle debate Sen. Lloyd Benton on television near the amphitheatre.
The Republicans watched the debate as if it were an old time melodrama, laughing at Bentson and cheering for Quayle.
After Bentzen's remark that Qmayle was "no jack Kennedy" Republicans agreed with bursts of applause when Qmayle responded,
The crowd also responded favorably when Quayle called Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis "taxi-Mike" and when Quayle strade across the stage to meet Bentens with a handshake.
Perhaps the most unfavorable reaction of the viewers was directed at the debate's questioning panel.
Groans filled the room when Quayle was questioned repeatedly about what he would do if he had to assume the presidency.
"I really feel that was unair to him, " said Louis Laure. Omahia resident. "I was proud of the way he handled the question, though."
However, Paul Quinn, Omaha resident, thought that line of questioning was worthwhile and deserved to be addressed.
He said Quayle handled the questions well.
"It's the key to the whole situation, really," Quinn said.
"He was obviously well-coached." Quinn said. "He was prepared for any question."
