A pleasant session with one of the new breed of Southern Republicans. Governor

Campbell doesn't give away any state secrets about the Bush strategy, but he and Mr.

Buckley look informatively at the Democratic Convention (CC: "When ... the dust

settled, and people were able to go back and look at Mike Dukakis, not against Jesse

Jackson but... really against the whole of America, they realized that they had a

[candidate] on the Left ... and once they began to discern that, I think that the efforts of

the Democratic Convention began to unravel") and the black vote in the South (CC: "For

too many years the black population of the South has been assumed by the Democratic

Party.... The Republican Party made a great mistake in that we said: 'Okay, they've

got it, we don't need to try.' Well, we're not saying that any more.... We don't need to

alter what we stand for, we need to sell what we stand for").
