NPR's Elizabeth Arnold reports that Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole and running mate Jack Kemp went to Capitol Hill today for what amounted to a pep rally with congresional Republicans, many of whom are discouraged by Dole's lagging numbers in the public opinion polls. Dole told his colleagues that he would win the presidential race and that they should not be discouraged. He said he would try to help other Republican candidates where he could, but would also stay away from some races, if that would help too.
