GOP Candidates

Among voters, are there other nonconformist families like mine? Example: Our family’s Republicans and screamingly defensive Democrats--male and female--favor GOP candidate Elizabeth Dole for president.

As for those other candidates, it’s a second-place tossup between the two front-runners. Quoting one male member, “There are other options out there, but Elizabeth Dole is fully qualified to be president.”

I enjoyed your second hit piece on Texas Gov. George W. Bush (“Partial to Gov. Bush’s Style, Latinos Look for Substance,” Aug. 30). Bush obviously enjoys the company and culture of his Hispanic constituents, so much so that he has become fluent in Spanish so he can communicate with them. Get over it. He is our next president.

I am voting for Alan Keyes.

The biggest concern about the 2000 presidential election should be who best represents the interest of America and its majority, not who best represents the special interests of the wealthiest Americans.
