Bob Dole had clinched the GOP nomination with his win in the California primary, and although conservatives had found much to admire in him over the years, he was far from their beau ideal. All the participants in these three shows are conservatives, but each has his own vantage point from which to view Mr. Dole and the campaign. PF: "I think Dole has a relatively good ... record generally on conservative issues. The

problem with him is, one, that his whole life has been cutting deals, and conservatives don't like deals, they like principle; and two, he has not, or at least not yet, been able to articulate a vision." ... WFB: "Can't somebody say: 'Okay, I'm a technician and I live

in a democratic republic, I'll be instructed by the majority, and the majority seem to want

this, so I'll work real hard to give it to them?'"
