Bush heads from New Hampshire to Massachusetts

BOSTON (AllPolitics, June 15) -- GOP presidential front-runner George W. Bush took his traveling road show to the Bay State Monday. Continuing his message of "compassionate conservatism" Bush spoke at a charter school, assuring the mostly Latino student population that the American dream should be available to legal immigrants. Then at $500-a-plate fund-raiser and pre-lunch reception Bush set a record for GOP fund-raising in Massachusetts by taking in $900,000 for his exploratory committee. Earlier in the day Bush wrapped up his first visit to New Hampshire, pouring coffee for customers at a restaurant in Derry.

Dole campaign office burglarized

ARLINGTON, Virginia (AllPolitics, June 15) -- GOP presidential hopeful Elizabeth Dole's campaign office in Arlington, Virginia was burglarized over the weekend. A laptop computer belonging to an unidentified employee was stolen. A spokesman for the county police said burglaries are fairly common in the law offices in the area. Ari Fleischer, a spokesman for Dole, told the Washington Post the incident "is not a big deal," adding "it appears that Vice President (Al) Gore was out of town, so we've crossed him off our suspect list."

McCain moves on to education

CHICAGO (AllPolitics, June 15) -- Now that the NATO airstrikes in Yugoslavia have stopped and peacekeeping forces are moving into Kosovo, Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) has moved on to talk about domestic policy in his bid for the GOP nomination. Speaking at the National Cable and Television Association's convention, McCain debuted an education platform that included merit-based pay for teachers, a nationwide school voucher program and high-speed Internet access for every school.

Bradley says competition is good

SACRAMENTO, California (AllPolitics, June 15) -- Saying "I've always believed, whether it was in basketball or politics, that competition was good," Bill Bradley on Monday rejected suggestions his challenge of Vice President Al Gore's presidential bid would hurt the Democrats chance of retaining the White House in 2000.

While Bradley refuses to rule out aggressive advertising against Gore, he says people should not compare this contest to the 1996 Republican primaries when Steve Forbes' blistering attack ads against eventual nominee Bob Dole hurt Dole in the general election. "My hope is we can keep this on a high plane, that we keep it focused on what the issues are and what we believe in," Bradley said.
