The California-based organization trying to pick off three Republican electors to switch the presidency from George W. Bush to Al Gore may have picked hopeless prospects.
None answer their telephones.
Wayne MacDonald of Derry, N.H., who supported Sen. John McCain against Bush in the New Hampshire primary, is Rockingham County Republican chairman and a hard-core party loyalist. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Scottsdale, Ariz., is another McCain backer who is a party loyalist. Frances Sadler of Ashland, Va., left a message on her voice mail assuring callers she will vote only for Bush. Mamon Wright of Memphis, Tenn., was an alternate delegate to the 1988 Republican National Convention. BUSH AND GORE President-elect Bush's plans for a round of meetings in the nation's capital were spoiled when Al Gore insisted on taking a few days off after conceding the election and not returning to Washington until Tuesday.
