Races to Watch
On the eve of the election, a few races capture attention
WASHINGTON (AP) — It will

when the polls close in Indiana

Across America, Tuesday’s ballot is crowded with
rucial contests. The presidential race is the headliner,
“Every single out nd there are elections for 34 Senate seats and all 435
of you out there;; ithe House.
Eleven states are choosing governors, and in at
ast 28 states the balance of power in legislative
hambers was in question. Not to mention impor-
int local contests and a record number of ballot
uestions, like a California effort to repeal state af-
born leadefmiative action programs, and proposals in 13
leaders art totes that will test the staying power of the strug-
ling term-limits movement.
In all this election-night mayhem, there are several
p&red themselve; fates and individual races that offer a glimpse into na-
onal trends — from the fight for the White House and
bngress to whether Christian conservatives or orga-
nes when someantlized labor get the upper hand in turning out voters in

tossup state, Dole would have a long way to go for his
upset. But Dole cannot afford to lose the state. Down
ballot, a GOP win over Democratic Rep. Mike Ward
would calm Gingrich’s nerves and dampen Democrat
ic chances of retaking the House.
GEORGIA
A must-win for Dole, and a pivotal state in the battle
for the Senate. Democrat Sam Nunn is retiring, and Re
publican Guy Milner had late momentum in a tight
race. Democrats need to gain three seats to win the
Senate; losing here would make the climb steeper.
OHIO
The polls close at 7:30 p.m. EST, and by then Dole
will know if he has a prayer. No Republican has ever
won the White House without carrying Ohio. Democ
rats hope to defeat GOP Reps. Martin Hoke in subur
ban Cleveland and Frank Cremeans in the state's more
conservative southeast corner. These are critical tests
of the $35 million AFL-CIO campaign to put the
House back in Democratic hands.
NORTH CAROLINA SENATE
Four-term GOP Sen. Jesse Helms in a rematch with
1990 Democratic challenger Harvey Gantt, who is black
and a former Charlotte mayor. Race was again an issue
in the end. Helms never wins by much, and is banking
on high Christian conservative turnout. "We need this
seat to have a realistic shot of getdng the Senate back,”
says Democratic pollster Mark Mellman.
FLORIDA
Until a tightening of the presidential race in the final
week, Clinton aides were picturing an electoral land
slide — in part because of the Democrat’s lead in this
usually Republican presidential state. A Clinton win
here “and the so-called Republican lock on the Elec
toral College is shattered,” said Clinton deputy cam
paign manager Ann Lewis. The Tampa-area seat of re
tiring Democratic Rep. Sam Gibbons is a GOP target.
ARKANSAS SENATE
Clinton’s homestate factors big in Republicans’
hopes to increase their 53-47 Senate majority. GOP
Rep. Tim Hutchinson led late in the race to replace re
tiring Democratic Sen. David Pryor. Democrat Win
ston Bryant hoped for Clinton coattails.
NEW HAMPSHIRE
Democratic state Sen. Jeanne Shaheen was favored
to become the state’s first woman governor — and the
first Democrat elected to that job since 1980. Republi
can Bob Smith, an anti abortion leader in the U.S.
Senate, was in a tough race against former Rep. Dick
Swett as Democrats looked to break the state’s GOP
tradition up and down the ballot.
ARIZONA
Not since Harry Truman in 1948 has a Democrat car
ried this state in a presidential race, a marker Clinton
had high hopes of shattering until the race tightened
late. One of several Western states where Ross Perot’s
count could make a difference in
the outcome. Freshman GOP
Rep. J.D. Hayworth was one of la
bor’s top targets, and was strug
gling to hold his seat.
WASHINGTON
The defeat of then-House Speaker Thomas Foley
headlined the 1994 Republican rout here. The six
House seats gained by Republicans two years ago are
the major battlegrounds, and late Republican mo
mentum appeared to dampen Democratic hopes for a
big swing back in their favor. Democrat Gary Locke
was favored to become the first Chinese American
governor of a mainland state.
CALIFORNIA
At the start of the campaign year, Republicans sug
gested affirmative action would be a major national
issue. It wasn’t, in part because of the popularity of re
tired Gen. Colin Powell, who declared himself a Re
publican and warned his new party against focusing
on affirmative action, and because of Dole’s decision
to put the GOP’s ambassador of minority outreach,
Jack Kemp, on the GOP ticket. Dole did return to the
issue during his late California push.
Some Republicans believe the anti-affirmative ac
tion initiative on the California ballot this year will in
crease conservative turnout. The results are likely to
go a long way in shaping future debate on the issue.

Clinton got
his first taste of
presidential politics in 1972,
when he worked as Texas director
for George McGovern’s campaign.
He lost his first bid for a House
seat in 1974 but was elected at
torney general in 1976.
Clinton ran for governor of
Arkansas in 1978 and won a
two-year term. He lost a bid for
re-election in 1980. He was
elected governor again in 1982,
was re-elected in 1984 and sub
sequently in 1986 and 1990 to
four-year terms.
(AP) — After serving in Congress
for nearly 35 years, Bob Dole set
his sights on one final election
prize: the presidency.
After losing in the 1980 and
1988 primaries, Dole announce
his third bid for the White House
in April 1995. But the campaign
was in jeopardy at first, with a
loss to conservative commenta
tor Pat Buchanan in the New
Hampshire primary. Dole would
also lose the Arizona and
Delaware primaries to publisher
Steve Forbes.
Still, Dole prevailed in the Su
per Tuesday primaries and had a
lock on his party’s nomination
by March 1996.
While attending Washburn
University, Dole was elected to
the Kansas House, serving 1951-
53. He was elected Russell Coun
ty attorney, serving 1953-61.
Dole was elected to the U.S.
House in 1960, serving four terms
Dole
before winning
a seat in the
U.S. Senate in
1968. He served
in the Senate
from 1969 to
1996, including
twice as Senate
majority leader.
He resigned
from the Sen
ate in May
1996 so he could concentrate on
his presidential bid. “I will seek
the presidency with nothing to
fall back on but the judgment of
the people, and nowhere to go
but the White House or home,”
he said.
He was Republican National
Committee chairman, 1971-73.
Dole ran for vice president in
1976 with President Ford, and
also campaigned unsuccessfully
for the Republican presidential
nomination in 1980 and 1988.
(AP) —When Ross Perot ran for
president in 1992, he did it as an
independent hoping to change
“politics as usual.” Now that Perot’s
running again, he’s doing it his
own way — politics as unusual.
The Texas billionaire has run a
campaign mostly through televi
sion with paid half-hour specials,
talk show interviews and commer
cials — no surprise from the man
who started a windstorm in 1992
by offering to run for president on
CNN's “Larry King Live.”
Despite getting 19 percent of
the popular vote in 1992, Perot’s
standing dwelled in the single dig
its four years later.
Perot spent much of his time
on political issues before seek
ing the presidency, like champi
oning the cause of U.S. prison
ers of war in Vietnam.
After his 1992 run, Perot fought
hard in 1993 against the North
American Free Trade Agreement.
