7 think of an image we see pretty often out here in the country: a bunch of buzzards circling around, and you know there is a dead calf or something underneath!
the FBI files in the White House and the Vincent Foster murder — I think it was a murder, not suicide, by the way. All these things surround the guy."
Even some of the president's supporters share these doubts. Mr. White favors Mr. Clinton's re-election, but commented, "Heaven’s sakes, I wouldn't like Bill Clinton for a friend. I wouldn't turn to him in a personal crisis. You can’t depend on Bill Clinton." What’s bothers him, Mr. White added, is this question: "Does it make a difference if the person who is leading the country is morally messed up?”
Mr. Shaffher thinks it does. "If 1 was applying for a job at two separate companies and was interviewed in one by Bob Dole and the other by Bill Clinton, I think I would prefer to work for Bob Dole," he said. "I believe that I could get a fair shake from the man."
Coming to the president's defense, Mr. Ellis countered that ”1 would actually trust Bill Clinton more than I trust Bob Dole." He said the Republican contender "has jumped from place to place as much as any politician, we've seen," noting Ih4t the Kansas lawmaker voted against Medicare when it. was enacted in 1964 while he vows to protect the elderly health-care program now.
Perhaps a larger problem for Mr. Dole, the discussion suggested, was a question of whether the 73-year-old World War II veteran's age and roots jn the past make him the wrong man to take the country into the 21st Century.
"Clinton is young, and all the Baby Boomers —- and I am one of them — relate to him," commented Mrs. Rogers. "Mr. Dole is definitely capable physically and mentally, but for young voters, Clinton is more in synch with their thinking. "In watch* ing the debate, Mrs. Rogers added, "Dole reminded me of my dad. I love my dad, but you know, I wouldn't vote for him."
"I think Dole is living in the past" agreed Mr. White. "I think there is segment of the Republican party that i very much living in the past as well. 1 think if Dole were elected president h$ would have difficulty leading the country into the future, especially with his party. I don't think Clinton has that handicap."
