ANALYSIS
ontinued from Page 1
"If McCain beats Bush there are
those that say its really a blow to his
capacity to win California in the
general election."
Bradley's losses will allow Gore
the opportunity to focus on the gen-
eral election.
Although Bradley has not won a
single state in all the primaries, crit-
*cs say his campaign served a pur-
pose.
"One benefit for Al Gore is the
challenge from Bradley helped him
sharpen the focus of his campaign,"
Traugott said.
"I think Gore has transformed his
candidacy," Eldersveld said, adding
that Bradley "forced Gore to face up
to the reality that he was not a shoo-
in for the presidency."
Bradley "took a pounding from
3ore and in the end people didn't
see an intensity and desire there
that they saw in Gore," Traugott
said.
While some analysts said
McCain's ability to attract Democra-
tic and independent voters hurt
Bradley, others were skeptical that
such reasoning explains Bradley's
defeat.
"I don't think that it really hurt
m with voters," Traugott said,
adding that "McCain might not have
done as well and Bradley might have
done better" if the Michigan Democ-
ratic caucus and Republic4n primary
had been on the same day.
Bush has to win independents and
Democrats to win the general elec-
tion and Bush "has got to hope that
McCain will help him attract inde-
pendents and some Democrats,"
# ldersveld said.
The 1996 National Election Study
Qqnducted by the Institute for Social
Research found that only 27 percent
of citizens identified themselves as

either strong or weak Republicans
and 11 percent identified themselves
as independents who lean towards
Republicans. In contrast, 19 percent
identified themselves as strong
Democrats, 20 percent as weak
Democrats and 13 percent were
independents who tend to lean
towards the Democrats.
"I'm very dubious about (Bush's)
capacity of mobilizing independent
and Democrats," Eldersveld said.
But even if McCain withdraws
from the race in the near future, his
efforts will not have had a futile
effect on Bush.
"The contest between Bush and
McCain is just generating good com-
mercial material for the Democrats
in the fall," Traugott said.
"These two guys have developed a
fair amount of anger between each
other," Traugott said, adding that
McCain "might be inclined to stay in
there on the basis of spite," Traugott
said.
But Eldersveld said he believes
McCain "is the kind of guy that said
that if Bush won the nomination he
would support him."
With Bradley pushed out of the
race Gore will have the opportunity
to focus on the general election.
But Bush, who has been pushed
further to the conservative right
while campaigning against McCain,
will still have to campaign with
McCain in his shadow.
Bush "will be able to focus on
(the general election), but he won't
be able to take as moderate of poli-
cy position as he would with
McCain out of the race," Traugott
said.
"No sitting vice president in the
history of America has been denied
the nomination by their party" Cali-
fornia Democratic Party campaign
adviser Bob Mulholland said Mon-
day as Democrats prepared for the
state's primary.

WINNERS
Continued from Page 1
to the main task at hand," Bush said,
"ending the era of Clinton-Gore."
Bush won Ohio, Georgia, Mis-
souri and Maryland by double-digit
margins - and he broke McCain's
hold in the Northeast with narrower
victories in New York and in Maine.
McCain, who spent nearly seven
years as a prisoner of then-North
Vietnam, won Massachusetts, Con-
necticut, Rhode Island and Vermont
as voters participated in the year's
largest night of Republican presi-
dential contests.
Gore said, "I invite all Americans
to seek the best America. He told a
Democratic victory rally: "In this
election, we are the party of the

mainstream."
Gore won in all 13 states holding
Democratic primaries, including
New York and California, where
McCain had expected to do better.
The races were projected based on
interviews conducted at the polls by
Voter News Service, a consortium of
the AP and television networks.
Forging familiar coalitions, Bush
relied on party faithfuls while
McCain drew votes from indepen-
dents and moderate Republicans.
McCain's gamble of criticizing
conservative Christian leaders may
have backfired in key states, while
Bush's visit to a South Carolina uni-
versity with a history of anti-
Catholic views seemed to be a
beneficial campaign issue for
McCain in some states.

* Student speaks to
demonstrators about
lawsuits the 'U' faces
From wire reports
TALLAHASSEE, Fla - About
10,000 demonstrators chanting
"Shame on Bush" jammed the state
Capitol grounds yesterday, demanding
that Gov. Jeb Bush back off his plan to
ban racial and gender preferences in
university admissions and state con-
tracting.
Pouring into Tallahassee from
around the country, the demonstra-
tors said they feared Bush's plan to
end affirmative action would erase
the gains blacks and other minorities
have made since the civil rights
movement.
Bush has put portions of the plan
into effect through executive order, but
other segments still need legislative
approval.
Among the protesters were LSA
sophomore Erika Dowdell and Coali-
tion to Defend Affirmative Action By
Any Means Necessary national orga-
nizer Shanta Driver.
Dowdell is one of the intervening
defendants in the lawsuit filed
against the University Law School in
1997.
The suit charges the University
unfairly used race as a factor in admis-
sions.
"This is the first step towards

resegregation," said the Rev. Tino;
thy McDonald, who came from
Atlanta.
The rally was timed to coincide with
the governor's State of the State
address and the opening of the legisla-
tive session.
Police estimated the crowd4.t
9,000 to 11,000 people. Partici-
pants included the Rev. Jesse Jack-
son, NAACP President Kweisi
Mfume, the Rev. Martin Luther
King III, members of Congress and
state legislators.
Protesters sang "Amazing Grace"
and "We Shall Overcome," and
waved signs reading "Jeb is Bush
League," "Jeb Crow" and "Bush
Whack."
Vicki Whitaker's 8-year-old son
Zac carried a sign that read"My
Mom Needs Affirmative Action."
Whitaker, of Tallahassee, became a
first-generation college student when
she attended Florida State Universi-
ty.
"This is oppression, pure and sifl-
ple' she said. "It's not about color, it~s
about oppression.
"They are telling us we have to trust
people will do the right thing, and we
know from our history that will just
not happen," Whitaker said.
Inside the Capitol, Bush defedd
the plan during his address.
"The vast majority of Florid ins
favor the elimination of affirmative
action programs,"he said.

DETROIT (AP) - Jury delibera-
tions began yesterday in the trial of a
man accused of slipping a fatal dose
of the so-called date rape drug into a
15-year-old's glass of Mountain Dew.
The Wayne County Circuit Court
deliberated for about 30 minutes yes-
terday after hearing nearly five weeks
of testimony about what Joshua Cole
allegedly did, or failed to do, during
and after a party attended by Saman-
tha Reid.
Samantha, 15, died Jan. 17, 1999, a
day after she and two other girls
ingested gamma-hydroxybutyrate -
GHB - at a party at a Grosse Ile
apartment. Melanie Sindone, now 16,
recovered. The third girl was not sick-
ened.
Cole is charged with involuntary
manslaughter in Samantha's death
and three poisoning counts. Involun-
tary manslaughter is punishable by up
to 15 years in prison. The poisoning
counts carry a possible life sentence.
The youths at the party were delib-

dumb teen-agers experimenting with
it, Courtright said.
Wayne County assistant prosecutor
Doug Baker said in his closing argu-
ment Monday that Cole knew GHB
was potentially harmful, because he
told police investigating Samantha's
death that he had tried it once and
became sick.
But Courtright asked the jury to
consider Cole's actions the njghtof
the party and afterward: carrying the
unconscious girls from the apartment
to a van; calling their parents from
the hospital when others were .urgi'g
him not to; and voluntarily speaking
with police before being charged.
"They need somebody to bltame,"
Courtright said.
Baker said in his rebuttal toCour-
tright's closing statement: "Sipping
something into someone's drink, I
think that crosses the line ... and I
think this goes beyond some stupid
mistake" -
Three other men also are charged.
