Steve Russell, a Cedar Rapids delegate in New Orleans, says Bush’s nomination strengthens a platform aligned with traditional moral values. He notes Robertson’s run opened the party to new activists but predicts a small exodus back to the woodwork and expects stronger local precincts and broader electoral footing for Republicans.
Jeff Russell, 16, attends the Republican National Convention as a page for the Iowa delegation, marking the highlight of a long political career begun with his father. He started activism at age 12, working on Sen. Roger Jepsen’s campaign and later helping Ron Corbett and Pat Robertson, and vows to stay involved in politics to influence the country’s direction.
New Hampshire Gov. Sununu told Iowa delegates at the Republican National Convention that Dukakis used public relations to show an economic recovery in Massachusetts. He charged higher taxes and pension fund borrowing to balance the budget, and criticized media coverage of the state's finances.
