Bush may be vulnerable in '92
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Not long ago, Democrats were lamenting a shortage of 1992 challengers.
Elections this week covered probable issues of next year's race
President Bush was supposed to be the invincible man and triumphs abroad were strengthening the Republicans' standing at home.
That's changed.
But the political sky has not fallen on the White House, despite an alarmist look there and a claim from Democrats that the president is in reelection peril.
While Bush's early advantage has diminished, it hasn't been reversed. The president has not been overtaken, only shown to be potentially vulnerable — in the right circumstances, to the right challenger, on the right issues.
It is a combination that has eluded Democratic nominees in all but one of the states.
There's a full campaign year to go, and the Democrats have to come up with a nominee from a field of six, or at least three. Mario Cuomo should ever decide to run.
"I'll be facing a tough fight," Bush said yesterday. "All of these people that are candidates are tough and nobody's going to be taking anything for granted."
ANALYSIS
The president and his political aides have said that before. Lately, they act as though they believe it. The economy
isn't on the rebound of Bush's summertime forecasts, and the voters are angry and taking it out on the people in power.
It all came together in Pennsylvania, in the landslide Senate upset of a Bush Republican with star billing and White House help by a Democrat who will only ask and themes the party hope will regulate nationally against Bush next year.
"This was really a test race," said Ronald H. Brown, the democratic national chairperson. "... And yes, George Bush is in trouble, and he should be, because he's got no solution to the economic problem in America."
Former Attorney General Dick Thornburgh, the Pennsylvania loser, said the race indeed had taken on national proportions because it "became a referendum on larger issues," especially economic concerns.
But he said it would be oversimplification to call it a vote against Bush when people really were voting against the status quo.
That didn't follow party lines — in New Jersey, Republicans took over a Democrat governor who broke with history and elected a GOP governor, ousting a Democrat.
And Pennsylvania winner Harris Wofford had a warning for his own party, saying that the Democrats need to broaden their programs and "not remain a party focused to a considerable extent on the very poor."
Furthermore, Democrats have not settled on their own solutions to the economic slump. Their leaders agree on middle-class tax relief, but not on specific terms. They want health care and health insurance reform, but with no consensus on what to do about it.
Bush said he would have a health care plan, although he did not say when. He also offered to work with Congress "to come up with something new" in a package to spur economic growth. He used to insist that it wouldn't be necessary.
But the president said he read the message behind Wofford's Pennsylvania surprise — "they're hurting out of it," we concerned about their livelihood.
"So listen ... we'll go the extra mile and we'll try even harder," Bush said at a crack-of-dawn news conference before flying to Rome for a NATO summit.
Bush put off a 10-day trip to Asia and Australia to stay home and tend to domestic problems, but he said it was rage to call that a symptom of White House panic about the political situation.
Fordice's win is good news for Duke
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Republican Kirk Fordice's victory in the Mississippi governor's race may well reverberate in Louisiana, where another conservative candidate is tapping anti-establishment sentiment with an undercurrent of racial themes.
day appears to have deepened his apprehension about the possibility of a Duke victory that would be an embarrassment to the Republican Party.
"There are too many similarities between the contest in Mississippi and the contest in Louisiana," Democratic National Chairperson Ronald Brown said yesterday. "Playing the race card in politics can work."
"I shudder to say this, but I think this is excellent news for David Duke," political analyst Stuart Rothenberg said of the former Klausman and Nazi sympathizer running for Louisiana governor.
Bush has been condemning Duke for weeks without endorsing his rival, Democrat Edwin Edwards. The morning after Fordice's election, however, the president sharply escalated his denunciations of Duke and said he would vote for Edwards if he had to pick between the two.
President Bush has himself been criticized for using racial themes in the past. But Fordice's victory Tues-
Fordice, a construction company owner, rode an outider theme to a primary victory over a Republican endorsed by the state party. Then he went on to defeat a defeat defeat. Roy Mabus, a Harvard educated reformist Democrat.
Fordice's central strategy was an assault on politics-as-usual and Mabus in particular. But he also criti- tized the affirmative action and racial quotas.
"Mississippi needs a workfare program rather than an ever-growing welfare system." Fordice said in his campaign literature.
David Bosisi of the Joint Center for Political Studies, a African-American think tank, said one of Fordice's ads depicted an African-American woman holding a child and "it was a girl. They were gritating itigate birth, a lot of children, taxpayers having to pay for welfare and they're fed up."
Ally Mack, a political science professor at Jackson State University, said many African-Americans looked to the past for guidance from the same cloth as David Duke."
But Fordice yesterday called that "a disgusting parallel. Outside the Deep South they don't understand the closeness of the races in Mississippi. We have had some bad history, but we are all trying to put that behind us."
The Challenge
Kansan sales reps are never bored. Every day brings fresh challenges opportunities to test their abilities and learn something new. They learn a lot about advertising, business-
organizations, people and themselves. When it comes to gaining the insights and abilities to make it in the real world, they've got the "right stuff."
Motivation
Know-how
Kansan sales reps manage their own small businesses. Each one has a territory. While they work in collaboration with managers and co-workers so that the organization functions in harmony, when it comes to the day-to-day activities, they call their own shots. They build the ability to plan their time, set goals, establish priorities, and balance their responsibilities.
Kansan reps learn how to use cutting edge computer technology and marketing information. They're trained to make sales presentations that produce results, develop ad campaigns that work and interact with co-workers to enhance productivity and generate positive working relationships.
Leadership
Kansan reps test themselves every day when they make sales calls on their clients. Some clients buy. Some don't. In the process of calling on the remarkable range of people who advertise in the Kansan, they develop the ability to put things in perspective. Every experience is a learning experience that makes them better prepared and increasingly "street smart" about people and business.
Confidence
Kansas reps work in an environment that encourages and welcomes leaders. They're encouraged to examine how the newspaper trains its staff, sells advertising to its clients and develops and produces products. They're challenged to explore the opportunities for positive change: to become innovators.
