George W. Bush's campaign this week might have threatened to knock a candidate out of the presidential race. For better or worse, President Clinton has changed the rules. Bush's highflying campaign was brought to earth over the question of whether he has ever used illegal drugs, and even some supporters believe he will be hurt by this week's events. Whether the damage is serious or long-lasting was not clear yesterday -- and the candidate quickly shifted back to his pre-turbulence posture of vowing not to answer questions on the issue. The episode revealed a campaign that, however smoothly it was operating, could be knocked off stride by one ingenious and unanticipated question. But it also showed how a decade of scandal politics -- and the example of Clinton -- have taught politicians not to crumble when the first crisis hits a campaign. There once was a familiar pattern when political scandal erupted: the media feeding frenzy, the campaign deathwatch and the inevitable scene in a hotel ballroom where a contrite or defiant candidate withdrew from the race. That was the way it played out in 1987 when Gary Hart was hit with allegations of marital infidelity. But after a 1992 campaign in which Clinton weathered questions about infidelity, the draft and smoking marijuana, and then the past year in which he survived the Monica S. Lewinsky scandal, that old pattern has been replaced by something new. "You can keep your head down and plow through it," said Republican strategist Ralph Reed, a Bush adviser, "and after you have, you're a stronger candidate because people see you're not going to be knocked out by it." Bush took a calculated risk by reopening the issue of when, if ever, he has used drugs. It is that the public will forgive mistakes of the distant past if they are convince a politician has learned from them -- and will not repeat them. "I think that ultimately voters will have a sense that the governor has

-Caveat Lector- Previous post stated: But after a 1992 campaign in which Clinton weathered questions about infidelity, the draft and smoking marijuana, and then the past year in which he survived the Monica S. Lewinsky scandal, that old pattern has been replaced by something new. "You can keep your head down and plow through it," said Republican strategist Ralph Reed, a Bush adviser, "and after you have, you're a stronger candidate because people see you're not going to be knocked out by it." Is this the same Ralph Reed who headed the Christian Coalition for several years? What kind of Christian is he if he's not concerned about drug use? And wasn't Pat Robertson involved in British Israel? Linda from: http://www.tialliance.org/tia/press/050796.html Ralph Reed's Change of Heart Challenged by TIA FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 7, 1996 CONTACT: Communications Director 202-639-6370 WASHINGTON, D.C. (May 7) -- The Interfaith Alliance today challenged Christian Coalition Executive Director Ralph Reed to match his words with his actions to demonstrate he means what he writes in his new book. Reed calls on religious conservatives to "love our enemies", extending even to the Christian Coalition's well established political targets such as gays and President Clinton. "As hard as he may try, Ralph Reed can't have it both ways. If he is truly intent on turning towards tolerance and civility, we applaud him. But his first step should not be to write a book about the tactics of unnamed religious conservatives. He needs to examine his own tactics; specifically to distance himself from the well documented extreme language of his very own boss, Pat Robertson. Anything less leaves his writings suspect," said Rev Dr. Albert Pennybacker, Chairman of The Interfaith Alliance. "While Ralph Reed seeks to attract mainstream Americans with the bait of tolerance and civility, his boss, Pat Robertson continues to indoctrinate his political troops with the incendiary language of hate prejudice and fear," said Rev. Dr. Albert Pennybacker. "Such talk has no place in America. While Reed takes a 'holier than thou' stance on bashing others in his book, Robertson's fundraising mail is filled with diatribes similar to the extreme rhetoric Reed says he condemns." The Interfaith Alliance is a non-profit organization with 49 chapters in 23 states organized to provide the mainstream religious community with a voice against those who use religion to push an extreme political agenda. The Interfaith Alliance has members from more than 30 different faith communities who have come together to promote the positive role of religion in American public life as a healing and constructive force. "Ralph Reed has been walking a political tightrope that is beginning to fray," said Jill Hanauer, Executive Director of The Interfaith Alliance. "It's amazing that the same person who compares his organization's tactics to guerrilla warfare can then summon the nerve to claim a sudden election year conversion to a new covenant of civility." == from: http://www.news-observer.com/daily/1997/10/11/nc01.html Reed recently stepped down as executive director of the Christian Coalition to launch an Atlanta-based political consulting firm to assist conservative candidates in 1998 and 2000. = DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
