Although I placed a call to a pollster in Houston named Mike Banzelese this afternoon with the Lance-Terrance Group. He s on the Republican side, to be sure. He feels that Dole is moving in the polls, that last night he was down only 8 points, the night before last down 5 points. I m sorry. According to Mike, and so it may be that these ads are having some impact on behalf of Dole, but from the people I m talking with, they are simply not being noticed.
People just don t care.
It s irrelevant. I certainly agree with what Kathleen Hall Jamieson just said. I think she s absolutely right, but I m not hearing that from people I talk to down here. Jim, it is hard to overestimate the lack of interest in this campaign in Boston, as well as New England. Jimmy Hoffa has higher visibility here than either Dole or Clinton.
