The Two Candidate Race

Dole-Kemp: "The Plan" (1.1M QuickTime movie) -- August 6
It's the economy..."The Plan" goes on the offensive promoting Dole's economic plan.

NRCC: "Welfare" (1.1M QuickTime movie)
Kudos to Iowa freshman Greg Ganske for helping the Republican Congress pass welfare reform. It will be recycled with the names of other Republican Congress members and will run in forty television marks.

AFL-CIO: "Wither" (1.1M QuickTime movie)
This ad is the third AFL-CIO spot targeting Republicans on the issue of Medicare. Like its predecessors, "Couples" and "Lady", "Wither" has been criticized for misstating the positions of prominent Republicans, including Newt Gingrich.

RNC: "Portability" (1.1M QuickTime movie)
The Republicans want portability for health insurance. But this RNC ad says the Clinton-Kennedy Democrats are standing in their way.

RNC: "Pledge" (1.1M QuickTime movie)
Tax cuts or tax increases? Clinton said he wanted to reduce taxes, but according to the RNC, he gave the U.S. the largest tax increase in history.

Clinton-Gore: "Hold" (1.1M QuickTime movie)
The Clinton-Gore campaign responds to the RNC's "Pledge" and throws the tax hot potato back into Dole's lap. So, who is really the "tax collector for the welfare state?"

Clinton-Gore: "First Time" (1.1M QuickTime movie)
"Who's really protecting our children?" Bob Dole's comments on tobacco come back to haunt him in this Clinton-Gore ad.

AFL-CIO: "Couples" (1.1M QuickTime movie)
The Congressional districts of seventeen House Republicans are the target of this ad, which some call libelous. An elderly couple describes the importance of Medicare, while the announcer describes the past and possible future Medicare cuts supported by the targeted Republicans.

AFL-CIO: "Lady" (1.1M QuickTime movie)
In this version of "couples", the AFL-CIO replacethe duo with a single, elderly woman whose life depends on Medicare.

NARAL: "Real Story" (1.1M QuickTime movie)
This NARAL ad seeks to move Dole's candidacy back to the extreme right on the abortion issue. It uses the former senator's voting record to paint him as anti-choice, anti-Roe v. Wade and anti-women.

RNC: "More" (1.1M QuickTime movie)
Spending on illegal immigrants up, wages for US workers down -- that's the theme of this RNC ad. With shots of boat people and illegals flocking into the U.S., the announcer asks voters to tell Clinton to stop giving benefits to illegal aliens.

DCCC: "Families First" (1.0M QuickTime movie)
Home movies, soft music, and babies fill this nostalgic ad. The DCCC will transport you to a place where Democrats revive responsibility and opportunity.

DNC: "Defend" (1.1M QuickTime movie)
This DNC ad defends family values, and emphasizes the president's support of tax cuts, Medicare, and education.

RNC: "The Story" (2.3M QuickTime movie)
Bob Dole's story, to be specific. This ad chronicles Dole's young life while stressing his military service and high moral principles.

RNC: "Even More Talk" (1.1M QuickTime movie)
Seven, eight, nine, ten years? How long will it take to balance the budget and end wasteful Washington spending? The RNC says not to ask Clinton, since he can't decide.
