When "asked about Warner's comments, Wilder blamed the party, saying its leaders a year ago should have known" that Sen. Charles Robb (D) "would have a tough re-election fight": "I want to be certain that Democrats can still be elected." Many analysts "think an independent candidacy by Wilder would siphon black votes" from the Dem nominee and "almost assure" North's election, "assuming" North beats ex-OMB Dir. Jim Miller (R) at the 6/3-4 convention. On the GOP side, "pressure also was being put on" ex-AG J. Marshall Coleman (R) "not to run as an independent." State House Min. Leader Vance Walkins (R) "was circulating a petition" among the 65 Leg. GOPers "reminding Coleman of all the things the Republican Party had done for him during his long political career. The petition urges him to seek the nomination as a Republican if he wants to run. Sixty-two signed the petition" (Whitley, RICHMOND TIMES-DISPATCH, 4/21). AT THE SHAD PLANKING: Speaking at the annual Shad Planking in Wakefield, Sen. John Warner (R) "remained hawkish" about North. Warner, "who thinks North's admission that he lied to Congress disqualifies him to serve" in the Senate, cited a VA- born president, John Tyler, "who resigned the Senate rather than condone the alteration of the official Senate record in favor of President Andrew Jackson." Warner stood on a flat-bed truck that served as the podium for the shad planking and quoted Tyler: "By the surrender of this high station, I shall set an example to my children, which shall teach them to regard as nothing any position of office which must be attained or held at the sacrifice of honor." Many of the more than 4,000 people attending the event "appeared more interested in North's beer than in Warner's speech." North dispensed Coors beer, and Miller dispensed Miller Light. "Also working the crowd": Robb, atty Sylvia Clute (D), Larouchie Nancy Spannaus (D) and Wilder, who "drew a good deal of attention" (Whitley, TIMES-DISPATCH, 4/21). W. POST's Jenkins notes North "shrugged off" Warner's remarks, "and the other candidates spent their time smiling and avoiding questions about whether they had actually eaten any of the shad." Robb: "By the time you shake enough hands, you can lick your fingers and tell what everybody else has eaten" (4/21). REGAN SPEAKS OUT: Reagan WH CoS Donald Regan said North acted without Ronald Reagan's knowledge during the Iran-contra": "Had Ronald Regan known what North was doing, he would have stopped it. North caused a lot of heartburn and headaches for Ronald Reagan and his administration." Regan is backing Miller (Goldstein, Newport News DAILY PRESS, 4/21)

Virginia: The soap opera continues, with Sen . Charles Robb (D) getting a last-minute serious Democratic primary opponent in moderate State Sen . Virgil Goode (D), a close ally of former Gov. Douglas Wilder (D). But Wilder himself has shown a newfound interest in getting into the race as an Independent . That would happen if Robb bests Goode and attorney Silvia Clute (D) for the Democratic nod. On the Republican side that likelihood that the June 3 GOP convention will deep-six former OMB chief Jim Miller's (R) bid to stop former NSC aide Oliver North (R) has caused Sen. John Warner (R) to switch to plan B. Warner has sought out former GOP governor nominee Marshall Coleman (R) to run as an Independent. Should both Robb and North survive the June 14 primaries the prospect of a four-way race is real. Leaning Republican Takeover .

HOTLINE 4/18/94
*15 VIRGINIA: COULD THIS TURN INTO A 4-WAY IN NOVEMBER? MORE? "Embattled" Sen. Charles Robb (D) "narrowly surpassed a little-known opponent in the signature sweepstakes" for a spot on the Dem primary, "but badly trailed a last-minute entry," state Sen. Virgil Goode (D). Robb, "despite a $1.l million war chest, submitted" petitions with 20,620 names, "only" 350 more than the 20,270 atty Sylvia Clute (D) turned in. Goode filed petitions on 3/12 with 30,256 names collected over 20 days, and then on the 4/15 filing deadline, turned over another 7,847 names, "pushing his total to 38,093." The Goode camp "hopes the petition drive" will give Goode "a bump in fundraising and help shed his image as a regional candidate." To qualify for the 6/14 primary, candidates had to submit petitions with 15,000 signatures of registered voters, with a minimum of 200 signatures in each of VA's 11 CDs (Schapiro, RICHMOND TIMES-DISPATCH, 4/16). THE WILDER SIDE: Ex-Gov. Doug Wilder's (D) "dalliance" with the race is "on again," with Wilder "taking the first tentative steps toward an independent candidacy." Wilder "authorized supporters to collect signatures for a place on the November ballot." To qualify for the general election ballot, a candidate must gather 15,000 signatures by 6/14 (Schapiro, TIMES-DISPATCH, 4/16). Sources said Wilder "was preparing for the possibility" that Goode, his "friend ... would fail to win the party's nomination." Miller spokesperson Keith Appell on Wilder's impact: "That's great news for our campaign. All Jim Miller has to do is get nominated and he wins the Senate seat." Ex-VA Dem chair/Wilder consultant Paul Goldman: "There is room for an independent candidate." But Goldman noted he would support Goode in the primary regardless of Wilder's petition drive (Kellman/Koklanaris, w. TIMES, 4/16). w. POST's Baker & Jenkins report that besides Wilder, two-time GOP gov. nominee Marshall Coleman (R) also is contemplating an independent run. Businessman Dan Clemente said he has raised several thousand dollars and hired a "canvassing firm to gather signatures" on a Coleman-for-Senate petition. Clemente said Coleman is aware of Clemente's activity. Clemente: "Marshall is supporting Jim Miller and is committed to him. But I personally don't believe Jim Miller is going to get the nomination. And we need a contingency plan." In a four-way race, the winner could receive less than 30% of the vote. One GOP strategist: "A Wilder candidacy strips away urban and black votes from Robb. A Coleman candidacy strips away country-clubbers from North. And then it becomes a battle of which candidate has the most hard-core voters who will show up come hell or high water" (4/16). A header of a letter to the editor: "Let [Baseball player Steve) Sax move here and run for Senate" (TIMES-DISPATCH, 4/17).

FEC CHECK: In FEC reports due 4/15, Oliver North (R) led all candidates with $4.5 million collected as of 3/31, but had only $820,000 cash-on-hand. Robb raised $1.7 million with $1.1 million on hand. Reagan OMB Dir. Jim Miller (R) raised $547,000 with $102,000 on hand, Clute raised $91,000 and has $1,350 on hand. Goode did not have to file because he only entered the race last month (TIMES-DISPATCH, 4/16). The TIMES-DISPATCH included a Q&A on the issues with North and Miller (4/17).

THE DEMOCRATS HAVE
CONTROLLED THE U.S. HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES ... AND THE
32 OF 40 YEARS THE DEMOCRATS

Page 37 of 59 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
HAVE CONTROLLED THE U.S.
SENATE.
GEORGE ALLEN WON
BECAUSE HE CONVINCED THE
VOTERS OF VIRGINIA THAT IT
MADE A DIFFERENCE WHICH
PARTY CONTROLLED THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE.
AND THAT'S OUR CHALLENGE
FOR THIS NOVEMBER.

OUR MESSAGE MUST BE
THAT IT DOES MATTER WHICH
PARTY HAS THE MAJORITY IN THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ... IT
DOES MATTER WHICH PARTY HAS a - THE MAJORITY--- IN THE SENATE.
IT MATTERS TO YOUR
WALLET. LAST WEEK WAS APRIL
15--AND YOU SAW WHAT
PRESIDENT CLINTON AND THE
6
Page 39 of 59 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
DEMOCRAT CONGRESS GAVE
YOU--THE LARGEST TAX
INCREASE IN HISTORY--A TAX
INCREASE WHICH EVERY
REPUBLICAN IN THE HOUSE AND
SENATE VOTED AGAINST.
ALONG WITH A $260 BILLION
INCREASE IN TAXES AND FEES ON
MILLIONS OF AMERICAN FAMILIES
AND SMALL BUSINESSMEN AND
7
Page 40 of 59 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
WOMEN, THE PRESIDENT'S
BUDGET ALSO CALLED FOR MORE
THAN $300 BILLION IN INCREASED
DOMESTIC FEDERAL SPENDING,
AND, EVENTUALLY, BIGGER AND
BIGGER DEFICITS.
IF REPUBLICANS
CONTROLLED THE AGENDA IN
THE HOUSE AND SENATE, THINGS
WOULD BE DIFFERENT.

INSTEAD OF A TAX INCREASE
AS A TOP PRIORITY, THERE
WOULD BE A CUT IN THE CAPITAL
GAINS TAX RATE.
INSTEAD OF A BUDGET
INCREASE, THERE WOULD- BE A
BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT,
A LINE ITEM VETO, AND A
PACKAGE OF SPENDING
REDUCTIONS.

CHANGING THE PARTY THAT
CONTROLS CONGRESS ALSO
MATTERS TO YOUR HEALTH CARE. & I BELIEVE THERE STILL IS A
GOOD CHANCE WE CAN REACH A
Bl-PARTISAN PLAN. BUT THE
STARTING POINT FOR THE
DEBATE WAS THE PRESIDENT'S
HEALTH CARE PLAN--A PLAN
THAT TURNED ONE-SEVENTH OF
10
Page 43 of 59 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
OUR ECONOMY OVER TO THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
INSTEAD OF STARTING FROM
TURNING OUR PRESENT SYSTEM
INSIDE OUT, REPUBLICANS
WOULD START FROM THE
PROPOSITION THAT WHILE THERE
ARE PROBLEMS WITH OUR
SYSTEM, IT IS THE BEST IN THE
WORLD.
11
Page 44 of 59 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
AND INSTEAD OF CHANGING
100% OF OUR HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM TO DEAL WITH THE 15%
WHO MAY HAVE PROBLEMS
GETTING INSURANCE, WE WOULD
KEEP WHAT WORKS, AND HELP
THOSE WHO ARE IN REAL NEED.
CHANGING THE PARTY THAT
CONTROLS CONGRESS ALSO
MATTERS TO THE SAFETY OF OUR
12
Page 45 of 59 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
STREETS.
WHENEVER CONGRESS
APPEARS ON THE VERGE OF
PASSING A TRULY TOUGH ANTI-
CRIME BILL, THE DEMOCRATS
GET NERVOUS, AND WATER IT
DOWN. MANY OF THEM STILL
CAN'T· GET PAST THEIR BELIEF
THAT CRIMINALS ARE THE
VICTIMS OF SOCIETY.
13
Page 46 of 59 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
REPUBLICANS KNOW THAT
THEY HAVE IT BACKWARDS. IT'S
SOCIETY THAT IS THE VICTIM OF
CRIMINALS. AND IF ORRIN HATCH
REPLACED JOE BIDEN AS
CHAIRMAN OF THE SENATE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, I
GUARANTEE YOU THAT WE
WOULD PASS THE TOUGHEST
ANTI-CRIME BILL EVER IN
14
Page 47 of 59 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
RECORD TIME.
CHANGING THE PARTY THAT
CONTROLS CONGRESS ALSO
MATTERS TO OUR NATIONAL
SECURITY.
IN A FEW WEEKS, I'll BE
JOINING MY COLLEAGUES AT
NORMANDY FOR THE
CELEBRATION MARKING THE 50TH
ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY.
15
Page 48 of 59 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
D-DAY OCCURRED AND
WORLD WAR II WAS WON ONLY
BECAUSE OF AMERICAN
LEADERSHIP. AND EVER SINCE
THEN, IT HAS BEEN AMERICAN
LEADERSHIP THAT WON THE
COLD WAR, AND AMERICAN
LEADERSHIP THAT KEPT THE
PEACE AND BROUGHT FREEDOM
AND DEMOCRACY TO COUNTRIES
16
Page 49 of 59 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
IN EVERY CORNER OF THE
GLOBE.
DID WE PAY A PRICE FOR
THAT LEADERSHIP? YOU BET WE
DID--A PRICE IN LIVES LOST AND
IN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SPENT.
BUT WAS IT WORTH THE
PRICE? YOU BET IT WAS. THE
WORLD IS A SAFER PLACE, A
FREER PLACE, A BETTER PLACE,
17
Page 50 of 59 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
BECAUSE OF AMERICAN
LEADERSHIP.
I AM AFRAID, HOWEVER,
THAT THE CLINTON
ADMINISTRATION BELIEVES THAT
AMERICAN LEADERSHIP IS A
THING OF THE PAST. THEY SEEM
TO BELIEVE THAT THE INTERESTS
AND LEADERSHIP OF THE UNITED
STATES IS LESS IMPORTANT THAN
18
Page 51 of 59 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
THE INTERESTS AND LEADERSHIP
OF THE UNITED NATIONS.
NOW, BOUTROS BOUTROS
GHALI MAY BE A NICE MAN, BUT
THE LAST TIME I CHECKED, NO
ONE IN THE UNITED STATES -- .... ELECTED HIM TO RUN OUR
FOREIGN POLICY.
IN BOSNIA, KOREA, AND
MANY PLACES ACROSS THE
19
Page 52 of 59 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
GLOBE, IT'S TIME FOR THE
CLINTON ADMINISTRATION TO
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A
DESPERATE NEED FOR AMERICAN
LEADERSHIP. WE ARE NOT JUST
ANOTHER CO-EQUAL MEMBER OF
NATO--WE ARE THE WORLD'S
ONLY ,REMAINING SUPERPOWER.
AND PUT STROM THURMOND
AND JOHN WARNER BACK IN
20
Page 53 of 59 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
CHARGE OF THE ARMED
SERVICES COMMITTEE, AND I CAN
GUARANTEE YOU THAT THE
PRESIDENT'S GUTTING OF OUR
NATIONAL SECURITY BUDGET
WILL COME TO A QUICK END.
DON'T GET ME WRONG. l'VE
NEVER CLAIMED THAT
REPUBLICANS ARE PERFECT.
WE'VE MADE SOME MISTAKES IN
21
Page 54 of 59 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
THE PAST. AND WE NEED TO DO
A BETTER JOB AT OPENING OUR
PARTY'S DOORS TO ALL
AMERICANS.
BUT I DO BELIEVE WE ARE THE
PARTY OF IDEAS. WE ARE THE
PARTY OF LESS TAXES, LESS
SPENDING, LESS GOVERNMENT,
AND A STRONG AMERICA.
22
Page 55 of 59 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
PRESIDENT CLINTON
ACCUSED US OF BEING THE
PARTY OF 11 N0.11 I BELIEVE,
HOWEVER, WE ARE THE PARTY OF
YES---YES TO LOWER TAXES; YES
TO LOWER SPENDING; YES TO
SMALLER GOVERNMENT; YES TO
A STRONG AMERICA.
AND THAT'S WHY IT'S SO
IMPORTANT THAT VOTERS SAY
23
Page 56 of 59 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
11 VES 11 TO REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATES THIS NOVEMBER.
JOHN WARNER AND I ARE
TIRED OF BEING IN THE
MINORITY. WE'D LIKE TO BE IN
THE MAJORITY. THAT'S WHY IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT WHEN ALL THE
SMOKE IS CLEARED, VIRGINIA
HAS ANOTHER REPUBLICAN
SENATOR. < .. 24
Page 57 of 59 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
AND THAT'S WHY IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT YOU TURN
AROUND YOUR HOUSE
DELEGATION ... INSTEAD OF SEVEN
DEMOCRATS AND FOUR
REPUBLICANS, WHY DON'T WE
MAKE IT SEVEN REPUBLICANS
AND FOUR DEMOCRATS?
I'll STOP HERE, AS I HAVE
TO CATCH A PLANE TO
25

OKLAHOMA--THERE'S A
CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION
DOWN THERE ON MAY 10, AND A
REPUBLICAN VICTORY WILL
CONTINUE THE MESSAGE THAT
WAS STARTED HERE IN VIRGINIA--
A MESSAGE THAT IF PEOPLE
WANT REAL CHANGE, THEN THEY
CAN SIMPLY CHANGE THE PARTY
THAT CONTROLS CONGRESS.
