 George Bush Presidential Library and Museum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
And he's actively involved in Bob Kasten's race, as I knew he would be -- and thank God he is. To Mike Grebe, who is the Kasten chairman, as well as our national committeeman: always stepping up to the plate, always in a role of leadership, I salute him.
Bob tells me this is one of the largest fundraising events that he's ever had.
But as Bob and I wrestled with these weighty problems of international affairs -- where we should go next in the Middle East peace talks, how to verify the arms control agreements with the Soviets -- it was a productive meeting, and I learned a lot.

 MilwaukeeWorld: Wal-Mart Takes a Hit in Jefferson
Bob Kasten sat in a comfortably-furnished office, filled with former River Hills furniture, and chatted business with the developer, who eventually passed on the place.
In addition to the Kasten possessions in the place, there were thousands of square feet of items that had made the downsizing from another River Hills mansion belonging to a friend of the Kastens who also made the move to the Mequon condo world before her death.
Kasten was well-read on issues of the day and favored history books, which he and his wife read in the dead silence of their home.

 The Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: Too Much Money
In Wisconsin incumbent Bob Kasten suggested that his opponent Ed Garvey, former president of the National Football League Players Association, had misused over $750,000 in association funds.
Kasten admitted that the ads implied things about Garvey which were untrue, yet he let the ads run.
Kasten, who had over three times as much money as Garvey, was able to turn down the offer of a 90 minute debate on prime time Milwaukee TV.

 The next Bill Proxmire? - US Senate race between Democrat Russ Feingold and Republican Robert W. Kasten in Wisconsin ...
Feingold began October well ahead of Kasten in the polls, largely on the basis of his whimsical ads that propelled him to a stunning September primary upset over two better-known and better-funded candidates.
Kasten is a veteran of tough contests (he has never won more than 51 per cent of the vote), and he has not been afraid to take the campaign into Feingold's territory.
Kasten's first post-primary television commercial was a take-off on one of Feingold's ads featuring an Elvis endorsement.

 Remarks at a Fundraising Dinner for Senator Robert W. Kasten, Jr., in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
And incidentally, in the House just a short time ago, the Democratic-dominated committee having to do with youth and family and all said that, in their study of all the tax proposals before the Congress, this one is the most profamily.
And that's one good reason I'm confident that come November 1986, the people of Wisconsin are going to say, ``Six more years for Bob Kasten in the United States Senate.'' Bob knows that the economy is more than numbers; the economy is people, their hopes and dreams, their hard work, and their faith.
Bob is the Senator Wisconsin needs to represent it into the 1990's, and he's the kind of leader America needs to carry us proudly into the 21st century.

 Senator Bob Kasten   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
History: The Badger first made the acquaintance of Senator Bob Kasten when he was truffle hunting in France with Ham.
Senator Bob Kasten proved to be the best truffle pig available, as well as a daring and heroic individual (he had saved his previous owner from a house fire, which is why only one of his legs had been eaten).
When the vamp had Badger on the ropes, Senator Bob came to the rescue, and when the nosferatu relieved him of his stake, Senator Bob used his peg leg and a daring forward roll to finish the creature off.

 National Review: The two Bobs. (Bob Dole and Robert H. Michel) (... @ HighBeam Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
These are the two Bobs: Bob Dole and Bob Michel, Senate and House Minority Leaders.
Bob Michel has labored for four decades in the Republican vineyard without ever having tasted the power of a committee chairmanship; if everyone in the House retired today he would draw the biggest pension.
Instead of addressing the merits, Michel attributed Kasten's endorsement of a capital-gains-tax cut to personal motives, in this case a desire to please his "Fortune 500 contributors." Similarly, during the whole budget summit Michel bypassed debate on the deficit and castigated his opponents for their "parochial concerns."

 Chapter 5 - Winning the New Civil War
Bob Kasten should take a bow, because his organizational strategy for victory has become legendary.
After careful analysis of the voting records in the various precincts, Kasten's campaign set a challenging but realistic vote total goal for each precinct, and it was the job of his volunteer to meet or exceed that goal.
In Pennsylvania, incumbent Bob Edgar successfully defended his seat by a razor-thin 481 of 248,000 votes, but the defeated Curt Weldon captured that seat in '86 when Edgar ran unsuccessfully for the Senate.

 Remarks at a Campaign Rally for Senator Robert W
Just as Bob said when he was up here, it's important to remember those days 5\1/2\ years ago, because the tax-and-spend crowd is still lurking in the shadows, just waiting for a second chance.
Well, Bob was one of the first Senators pushing for fairer and lower taxes, and he agrees with me that raising tax rates now would be an intolerable breach of faith with the American people.
But if you want to vote for me, vote for Bob Kasten, so that we can have a Republican Senate that will work with me instead of against me and be around after I'm gone.

We're reminded of that in a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article pointing out that the sons of Birch Bayh and John Culver -- and of Jimmy Carter, who lost to Reagan -- are all in the political mix this year.
Kasten reportedly celebrated his victory over Nelson so hard that he was barely able to speak an intelligible word -- or stand up -- when it finally became clear he had won.
I didn't interview Kasten for a reason: He wouldn't rise to the level of a pimple on Nelson's rear end.

 The Arab American Institute
Wisconsin is generally a Democrat-leaning state and Kasten only narrowly won his two previous Senate races by 50 and 51 percent against opponents who were much weaker than Feingold seems to be.
Kasten, however, was preparing for a tough fight from the beginning and has amassed a sizeable campaign war chest, including $117,300 from pro-Israel PACs—a remarkable 14.5 percent of his total PAC receipts.
The pro-Israel community sees Kasten as one of its most important friends in the Senate, given his position on the Foreign Operations subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee, which is responsible for overseeing all foreign aid.

 Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks / State Parks Futures Committee II   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
Bob Raney, director of the Montana State Parks Foundation, gave a presentation on the foundations concerns and park-related statutes, focusing on the Montana Primitive Parks Act (23-1-115 through 23-1-118, MCA) of 1993 and the Good Neighbor Policy (23-1-126, MCA) enacted in 1999.
Bob Raney said that Montanans do pay, through the bed tax (40 percent of which, he said, is paid by state residents) and the coal tax trust.
Bob Keenan said he wanted to emphasize that the Futures Committee is just exploring ideas and is a long way from settling on any specific recommendations.

 Russ Feingold   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
Feingold, who had little name recognition in the state and was campaigning in a primary against a pair of millionaire opponents, adopted several proposals to gain the electorate's attention.
After noting how friendly the people were, and that Wisconsin had many similar places, he expressed his sorrow that such a poverty-stricken area was "the reddest spot on the whole map," despite Republican policies that Feingold considered incredibly destructive to the lives of the poor and middle class.
Alabama Governor Bob Riley and Greenville Mayor Dexter McLendon, both Republicans, were perturbed at Feingold's description of "check-cashing stores and abject trailer parks, and some of the hardest-used cars for sale on a very rundown lot." McLendon invited Feingold back for a more complete tour of the city, and Feingold agreed.

 Lamar's choice. (Education Secretary Lamar Alexander's support of watered-down education legislation) - Encyclopedia.com
Of all those in the room (Senators Bob Dole, Nancy Kassebaum, Thad Cochran, Dave Durenberger, Alan Simpson, Dan Coats, and Bob Kasten), the only ones to object were coats and Kasten.
Kasten likened the education bill to last year's crime bill, where in the interest of getting something passed the Administration softened it, and the result was that the House liberalized it even further.
But Alexander insisted: Ditch choice and national testing, push through a bipartisan bill, and then come back next year and ding the Democrats for dropping choice.
