_________________ The Michigan Daily - Thursday, january 27, 2000 - 7A The Michigan Daily - Thursday, January 27, 2000 - 7A ATION/WORLD Bradley, Gore meet in last debate before primary MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - Bill Bradley attacked Al Gore in biting, personal terms last night, questioning his commitment to abortion rights and likening his tactics to Richard Nixon. "If you're going to talk about a higher standard you're going to need to live by them," the vice *ident rebutted in campaign debate. Gore criticized former Sen. Bradley for voting for Republican spending cuts in 1981, and said, "I just don't see how you can vote for Ronald Reagan's budget cuts and then campaign like Robert Kennedy." Bradley shot back instantly: "When Al accuses me of negative campaigning, that reminds me of the story about Richard Nixon, the kind of politician who would chop down a tree, then stand on the stump and give a speech about conservation." The 60-minute debate marked an abrupt change in campaign tactics by Bradley, whom aides said in advance was poised to carry the fight to the vice president for the first time in their bat- tle for the Democratic presidential nomination. The two men squabbled through 60 televised minutes as they met for the first time since Gore's runaway victory on Monday night in the Iowa caucuses -- and the final time before New Hampshire holds the first primary next Tuesday. It was the second half of a debate doubleheader. The GOP contenders met for 90 minutes on the same stage earlier in the evening. The polls say New Hampshire is a toss-up, and New Hampshire Gov. Jeanne Shaheen, who supports the vice president, said yesterday the Democratic race is "very close - it could go either way." At the same time, victory is more important politically for Bradley, given his drub- bing in Iowa. Gore used one question to underscore his political partnership with President Clinton. "People are tired of the whole discussion about the president's personal mistake," he said. "They think that by and large he has been a great pres- ident in turning this economy around. "You know, the Clinton-Gore administration has ended the deepest recession since the 1930s, when New Hampshire was losing 10,000 jobs a year," he said. Foreign policy came up briefly, when Gore was asked whether the administration had been forceful enough in trying to end the Russian attack on Chechnva. He noted that Russia has 20,000 nuclear warheads that can be retargeted toward the United States at any time. e /' C We have more than great airfares!
