Simon scraps plan to end campaign
The Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS — Sen. Paul Simon, who once said he would drop out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination if he didn't come out of Minnesota or South Dakota with a victory, said yesterday that he don't expect to carry either state but that he planned to fight on anyway.
"I'm continuing to campaign all the way to Atlanta, period," the Illinois senator told reporters during an appearance at the University of Minnesota.
Simon also predicted that when the
Democratic National Convention convened in Atlanta in July it would be "not likely we will have any one person with a majority."

"What changed my mind," he said, "was an avalanche of support from around the nation which said we want to have someone who represents the party's progressive wing."
Asked on what he based his contention that he would do "respectably" in the South on Super Tuesday, Simon cited polls which he said showed him "doing pretty well" on a state-by-state basis.
"I haven't led in any of them, but I've been doing pretty well so far," he said.

matching funds. Robertson had said earlier that he might not use the matching funds because he was opposed philosophically to the public financing system.
In an interesting twist, Bush, while raising the most money, has spent less than any of the other Republican contenders. The Bush forces have been managing carefully their resources to ensure they don't reach the $27 million primary spending limit too early in the nominating campaign.
He ended the month with $5.5 million in cash on hand, second only to Bush, but Robertson had an outstanding debt of $6 million.
