BOB DOLE AND JACK KEMP SHOULD NOT BE COUNTED OUT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL
RACE
(Mr. SALMON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. SALMON. Mr. Speaker, last Saturday my alma mater, the Arizona
State Sun Devils, took on the No. 1 ranked, two-time defending national
champion cornhuskers of Nebraska. The result should be a lesson to all
the pundits who have already written off Bob Dole.
The pundits and so-called experts said A.S.U. had no chance against
Nebraska. They pointed out that Nebraska had a 37 game winning streak,
and that Nebraska had not been shut out in a regular season game since
1973. The point spread, looking a lot like some of the recent
presidential polls, predicted that Nebraska would win by 23 points.
Yet Arizona State managed to shut out Nebraska 19-0.
The experts said Arizona State could not beat Nebraska, but the
experts were wrong. The experts also tell us that Bob Dole and Jack
Kemp do not have a chance to beat a certain liberal currently living in
the White House. We Sun Devils know better.
