'The term "aoft money" as ueed in this Complaint means funds,that would not be lawful for use in connection with any federal election (e.g., corporate or labor organization treasury funds, contributions in excess of the relevant contribution limit for federal elections). THE FACTS IN TBIS CABE On November 24, 1992, the state of Georgia held a unique runoff election for the office of United States Senator. Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote. The 1992 runoff in Georg a was a hotly contested race between the Democratic incumbent Wyche Fowler, and his Republican opponent, Paul Coverdell. The Republicans presented this election as a %ust-win81 election. Exhibit 1. The Republicans were so intent on victory that Senator Dole announced he was willing to give up his seat on the Senate Agriculture Committee for Coverdell, if necessary.

  • OJ and Mike Were Not Happy About Wyche's Sunday Perfomance
    Atlanta Trip - october 17-21, 1992 - OJ and Mike were not happy about Wyche's SUnday perfomance--looked tired, coat bunched up, nothing new, no issues, no vision for the countJ:y--and said that only reason it worked is because PC is so weak. "He wasn't strong because he didn't think he had to be strong. rrhe only reason he looked good was that COVerdel.l is so weak." OJ said some friend of his saw a tape of the Savannah debate and was very critical. Said WF was weak, condescenling and that he could not understand the baseball question. So my view of SUnday was at odds with all his aides­ -OJ, Mike, Fran and Harriet. Mike says that they see him in all his moods and knew when he is at his best and that was not it. I can't quarrel. I agree it was not statesman-like and visiomuy and striking, and he did not start out attacking PC. In Savannah, he started with education and, in Atlanta, he began with the economy. Maybe these guys have seen him so much that they want to hear some new, invigorating note. But people in Atlanta have not heard any of that. It's all news to them. Mike: "You're in a hot bed of cynicism here." - At lunch, I asked Norm and Chris for a theme for my study. Norm: "All politics is not local." Cllris: "It's being drowned out." Some idea, but the problem is that it takes the attention away from evaything I know about WF-his local attachments.
