Politics Wednesday, October 21,1992 The Battalion Page 3 Campaigners say Perot vote not wasted THE ASSOCIATED PRESS a DALLAS — Ross Perot's cam- Ipaign, encouraged by his feisty [perrormance in the final presiden- Itial debate, is gearing for a stretch Irun designed to convince support- lers their votes won't be wasted on jElection Day. Still, Perot had no appearances Ischeduled except for three 30- minute television commercials lat- [er in the week, and several loyal- I ists called for him to return to live Supporters fear public might turn from candidate due to poor showing in polls campaigning if he expects to gain ground from his third-place showing in the polls. Perot himself expressed con cern, at the end of Monday's de bate, that voters might turn away from him simply because they view the odds as unsurmountable. "You've got to stop letting these folks in the press tell you you're throwing your vote away," Perot said. "You've got to start us ing your own head." In his stiffest attacks to date on his opponents, he chided Bush for contributing to the savings and loan crisis and helping build the regimes of Panama's Manuel Nor iega and Iraq's Saddam Hussein before tearing them down. And he equated Clinton's 12 years as gov ernor of Arkansas to the job of running a corner drug store, say ing it was "irrelevant" to the qual ifications needed from a presiden tial candidate. Perot said neither of his oppo nents' economic plans added up and blamed both for having for eign lobbyists in their campaigns. "I guess my principal memory of tonight's debate is the things they ducked and the fact that they sure don't want to discuss the lob byist situation because that's where they get all their money," he said afterward.

Bill Clinton's goal is to preserve his double-digit lead. As Bush began a final blitz to save his presidency, the Arkansas governor, brim ming with fresh confidence, worked the piv otal Midwest and plotted to extend his mar gin into Western states that have been tradi tional Republican turf. The two will spend much of the campaign endgame fighting in the industrial battle ground states — where Clinton now enjoys a comfortable lead — and swamping the air waves with their ads. Many analysts have suggested there's not enough time left for Bush to mount a come back and that the die may already be cast for a decisive Clinton win. And even Republican strategists promot ing a come-from-behind victory for Bush ac knowledge it's a long shot. With the three debates over, both major- party candidates on Tuesday signaled the likely course of the rest of the campaign. Independent challenger Ross Perot, still the third man out, planned to stick to his strategy — spending tens of millions of dol lars of his own money buying television time but otherwise staying out of public view. "I'm going to keep fighting," Clinton said as he campaigned in Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin. "I have the best economic plan. That's what I'll hammer home these last two weeks." Clinton campaigned in Illinois and Wis consin before a swing through Western states that were once Republican bastions — in cluding Wyoming and Nevada. The trip un derscored the confidence that was spreading through the Clinton campaign. "Bush is still stuck in his base. We'll cam paign in his base, too," said Clinton commu nications director George Stephanopoulos. Clinton working to hold lead in polls THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Bill Clinton summoned sup porters Tuesday to "end trickle- down economics"-by ousting the Republicans as he set out on the final lap of his marathon quest for the White House. President Bush stressed that character counted as much as the economy, adding that his rival was deficient on that count. One day after their third and fi nal debate, the campaign rivals thus embarked on a two-week sprint to Election Day, the Democ ratic challenger working to hold a large lead in the polls while the Republican president hoped for a late turnaround in the race. Independent Ross Perot was back home in Dallas, pledging fresh 30-minute televised appeals in his unconventional bid for the White House. Republicans and Democrats alike studied the Electoral College map for closing strategies. "We're still in a position where we need to shift the race five to six to seven points and it will be com petitive," conceded Bush cam paign aide Charlie Black. Clinton spokesman George Stephanopoulos conceded that Bush has probably shored up his strength in traditional Republican areas in the past two weeks, but said there was little GOP activity in about 10 states with 150 Elec toral votes or more. It takes 270 electoral votes to win the White House.

None of it would sound fresh to the tens of millions of voters who tuned in to the campaign de bates.
