James A Baker Jr tops a New Hampshire Republican poll as the party’s preferred 1996 presidential nominee with 30 percent, ahead of Jack Kemp at 23 percent and Pat Buchanan at 18 percent. Baker, then secretary of state, is seen as Bush’s likely chief of staff.
Ross Perot warned he could re-launch his independent presidential campaign if President Bush and Bill Clinton parties thumb their nose at the American people. He spoke at a Dallas rally near the preview of his new book, indicating the chance of a comeback would depend on lengthy supporter discussions.
