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.

WASHINGTON - President Bush will
be trying in the final two-week campaign
stretch to shore up his weakened base and
sustain the aggressive stance he struck in the
final debate. 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

who tuned in to the campaign de

The president conceded the

but said the nation was "caught

he said, would raise taxes on the
