Cheney, GOP team set sights on '04
By Ralph Z. Hallow
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Vice President Richard B. Cheney yesterday delivered a two-part message to political activists who are important to President Bush's re-election effort next year.
"Under the leadership of the president, this government will work to build greater prosperity across the land, and we will answer every danger and every enemy that threatens the American people," Mr. Cheney told a standing-room-only audience at the 30th annual Conservative Political Action Conference at the Crystal City Gateway Marriott.
Across the Potomac River at the Mayflower Hotel in the District, Republican National Committee Deputy Chairman Jack Oliver presided over a "here's how to win in 2004" strategy session at the annual winter meeting of the 165-member RNC.
Mr. Oliver, RNC political director Blaise Hazelwood, survey director Matthew Dowd and Georgia Republican Committee Chairman Ralph Reed — all of whom attained heroic stature among committee members after the November elections — explained how their party's "72-hour task force" project trained and used more than 15,000 grass-roots activists and 130,000 volunteers to turn out voters last November.
The vice president did not, for the most part, disappoint them. (http://www.washtimes.com/national/20030131-69287969.htm)
