Bush speech signals GOP bounce after convention
Editorial notes George Bush failed to deliver a speech of his life yet gave Republicans a hopeful post convention lift. He highlighted past actions to reduce nuclear threat and expand freedom, admitted economic mistakes, vowed to veto bills beyond budget limits, and contrasted his record with Clinton. Dan Quayle and Bob Dole strengthened the moment as Bush regained momentum toward Election Day.
