raise the soft money, run the attack ads,”
McCain said of the ads on Sunday.
“They’re getting more and more like the
Clinton campaign. They’ll say anything.”
Bush dismissed the complaint, saying
he had nothing to do with the commer

the Texas governor said. He began his fi
nal swing through California with a ral

Texas later to await the results from pri
maries and caucuses.
After weeks of bashing Gore, Bradley
has toned down his assaults in recent
days as the Super Tuesday campaign was
wrapping up. Today, Bradley said he
would support Gore if he’s the nominee
and has no interest in the vice presiden

role in the 1996 fund-raising scandals
“could risk the whole Democratic agen

“You can’t win a general election

McCain.
Among the keys to Tuesday’s voting
are New York, Ohio and California.
