Dole leaves Senate behind, not politics

The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — What the new Bob Dole could use about now is somebody to play the role of the old Bob Dole — tough, sharp-tongued, ready to seize and exploit every Democratic vulnerability.
That kind of hardline campaigning doesn't play well for the candidate at the top of the ticket. Presidents and would-be presidents prefer the high road while spokesman, surrogates and sometimes running mates do the attack work.
Dole knows that, having done it,
sometimes too stridently. He once
joked ruefully that when he went
for the jugular vein, he got his own.
Still, he was the man who could put
a Republican on things, often in
a quip that made it understandable and, for the opposition,
unavoidable.
But as the seasoned, mellowed Dole resigned his Senate seat yesterday to run full time for the White House, nobody is playing a comparable part for him. He won't have a running mate until the convention, still three months away. House Speaker Newt Gingrich is an ally, but his negative ratings rule out a high-profile campaign spot.
Bob Dole
When Dole was campaigning in Chicago two weeks ago, a man suggested that his ticket might suffer because of the unpopularity of the speaker and the Republican Congress.
"Some might say that," he replied.
"I have to spell out my own agenda
for America, Bob Dole's agenda."
Beginning today, he will do so as a former senator. Republican National Chairman Haley Barbour said his resignation made him a candidate for president to the exclusion of all else and added that
He has remained a relatively cautious one, despite openings the Dole of another era would have seized and exploited. He has dealt gingerly with Whitewater and other cases touching on President Clinton and his associates, although he hardened his line after the disclosure that the White House got FBI background files on 341 people, most of them Republicans, in 1993, in connection with access passes. Clinton called it an honest bureaucratic snafu, and the process was stopped part way through the alphabet.
dency to shoot first and ask questions later and did so when he spoke beside House Speaker Newt Gingrich at a rally in Marietta, Ga., on Saturday.
he already is more focused as a campaigner.
But Dole said the episode smells, that there should and would be hearings in Congress on what he said reads like a Clinton enemies list. He said he remembered Watergate and the things that happened because of similar situations.
But in this campaign, Dole has been relatively restrained, although the Democrats argue that he's lurching from one negative attack to another. Dole said that's because he's telling the truth about Clinton's record, which he said is to talk like a conservative and govern like a liberal.
Even a White House apology came with a counter-attack. Chief of Staff Leon Panetta, offered it, after he said that Dole had a ten-

against Clinton, but they haven't undone the president's early lead so far. And Dole's decision to resign his Senate seat boosted his standing.
When Dole did speak of it later, he said, "I want to return integrity to our government, a mission that's more important this week than even a week ago." Mild words compared with those of his early career.
Republican strategy is to make character and credibility issues
On Monday, Barbour said, "I don't know any reason it would have any affect on the polls."
Perhaps not, but the polls certainly had an effect on it. Dole's campaign design had been to run as the Senate leader who got things done. But he couldn't get measures past balky Democrats, and ardent House conservatives complicated the task, too.
Dole at first had resisted suggestions that he step aside as the majority leader, at least temporarily. But lagging in the polls and snarled in Senate disputes, he chose to resign outright.
Barbour said that has stirred and solidified Republicans for the campaign, but that undecided voters remain to be convinced on the issues. Dole will be trying, full time, from now on.
Frahm takes Senate oath of office, replaces Dole
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Sheila Frahm was sworn into the Senate yesterday afternoon to replace Bob Dole, becoming the 24th woman ever to take the Senate oath of office.
"All that I am and all that I will become, I owe to Kansas," Frahm said in prepared remarks.
Sen. Nancy Kassebaum held Frahm's family Bible while Vice President Al Gore administered the oath. At Frahm's side were Dole and the rest of the Kansas congressional delegation, except Rep. Sam Brownback, who is opposing her in the GOP primary to serve the remaining two years of Dole's term.
There are now nine women in the Senate, five Democrats and four Republicans. Kansas now is one of two states with two female senators. California, with Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein and
Barbara Boxer, is the other.
Before she was sworn in, Frahm attended her first meeting with Republican senators. She was escorted into the Senate chamber by Dole and Kassebaum, with Gov. Bill Graves nearby.
In an interview before she took the oath of office, Frahm said she is ready for hew new duties.
"Everything is in place," Frahm said.
But she acknowledged a sense of wonder that she could so quickly move from Kansas lieutenant governor to the U.S. Senate.
"It's still a shock. I still say it's an incredible opportunity. It's hard to find the words to describe it," Frahm said.
In a separate interview today, Dole said Frahm has a difficult task ahead in learning the ropes of the Senate while still running in the Aug. 6 Republican primary in Kansas.
"She's got to organize an office, raise money, run back and forth. She's going to get a lot of frequent flier miles here in the next 60 days," Dole said. "I think she just has to make a judgment and be here for the important votes."
Frahm said she has reached her twin goals of kicking off an election campaign and preparing to become a new senator.
"Some said, 'That can't happen.' Well, it has happened," Frahm said in an interview Monday. "It is an incredible pace we've kept."
Since Graves appointed her May 24, the former lieutenant governor has spent all of her time in Kansas putting together a campaign. She faces Rep. Sam Brownback in the Aug. 6 GOP primary.
But Frahm said she would give her Senate duties full attention.
her school office run attention.
"I don't think that's an impossible task. Can we manage a campaign at the same time? Absolutely," she said.
Frahm spent her day Monday in a series of briefings with Dole's staff many of whom will stay on for the time being and getting up to speed on the operation of the Senate.
"It will be critical that they keep me informed," Frahm said of the staff. "We don't have the luxury of a transition."
Frahm's first official vote is likely to be in the race to succeed Dole as majority leader, which is between Mississippi Sens. Trent Lott and Thad Cochran. Frahm said she has talked by phone with both men, but would not disclose whether she has made a decision.
Wearing a royal blue dress and a sunflower corsage, Frahm, 51, was trailed by cameras from Kansas television stations Monday as she took care of tasks such as learning the parliamentary procedure of the Senate, getting her parking pass and signing up for life insurance.
She found an apartment in suburban Virginia and drove into the Capitol complex Monday morning, getting her first taste of Washington traffic in a backup leading to Memorial Bridge.
"That's different traffic than we used to in Topeka, Kansas," she observed with a laugh.
Later Monday night, she and Graves joined Dole, Sen. Nancy Kassebaum and other members of the Kansas congressional delegation at a formal fund-raiser for House and Senate GOP campaigns.
Meanwhile, Sen. Al D'Amato, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, has decided the political arm of the Senate GOP will remain neutral in the Frahm-Brownback race.
"This decision does not reflect support of one candidate over another. This is just the best policy for this race," said NRSC spokesman Dan McLagan.
