Stand in the gap
October 18, 1997

Solid candidate

Why should social conservatives be interested in Sen. Ashcroft ("Sackcloth & Ashcroft," Oct. 11), who by your own admission lacks passion and eloquence? We already have a candidate, Alan Keyes, who is renowned both for his powers of oratory and rock-solid principles. Were it not for the persistent media blackout of Keyes, he would have front-runner status among conservatives. Both Dole and Kemp were putty in the hands of their opponents in the last election, at least partly because of their lack of a solid foundation for their platforms. The Christian Coalition sold out to political expediency when they endorsed Dole in the last presidential election; they do not deserve a leadership role in the next one. - Leslie Appleby, Manchester, Iowa
