MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
From:
Doug Sosnik
Re:
1995 Gubernatorial Races in MS, KY and LA
OVERVIEW
Of the three gubernatorial seats up in 1995, two (Kentucky and Louisiana) are held by
Democrats. Throughout the 1995 election cycle, we will have the difficult, but not impossible,
task of holding onto these seats. Mississippi is held by a strong Republican Governor seeking
re-election to a second term in an increasingly conservative state.
In Mississippi, incumbent Republican Governor Kirk Fordice is considered the favorite in his
re-election bid, although Secretary of State and gubernatorial nominee Dick Molpus has the
potential to be the "long shot" win of the 1995 races. Molpus will benefit from an uncontested
primary battle, his strong personal profile and his ability to raise funds nationwide for his bid.
The key will be for Molpus to go after Fordice early and hard, however Molpus may be
reluctant to do this.
The field of Democratic candidates in the Kentucky race is weak and uninspiring. While this
race should not be written off, the Democratic nominee will face the challenge of motivating
Democratic forces in the state for a general election win against de-facto GOP nominee Larry
Forgy.
In the Louisiana race, the hotly contested primary will largely decide the outcome of the
election. Buddy Roemer enjoys the status of frontrunner in the Republican field, while
De~ocrats continue to battle for the second slot in the general election race.
Given the
demographics of Louisiana, this is our greatest opportunity in the 1995 races to elect a
Democrat.
In each of the races, the Democratic nominee will face a formidable challenge in the general
election. The loss of all three races would be a very damaging blow to the Democratic Party
entering the 1996 election cycle and the Administration must determine the most useful and
affective way to benefit each campaign.
Following is a more detailed analysis of each race.

MISSISSIPPI
Primary Election:
Runoff Election:
General Election:
August 8
August 29
November 7
The '95 general election has boiled down to a clean match-up between incumbent Governor Kirk ·
Fordice (R) and Secretary of State Dick Molpus (D). The only primary opposition to Fordice
and Molpus will come from little-known perennial candidates Shawn and Richard O'Hara.
Molpus has focused his general election strategy on fundraising, with almost $1 million raised
in 1994 and early 1995 for the race. He ·has hired former Gore '88 southeast director John
Jameson to manage his campaign, and has contracted Geoff Garin for polling and Strubel-Totten
for media. A couple of key issues already surfacing in the race include gaming and middle class
tax relief. Molpus has pledged not to accept any gaming money for his campaign, while a large
chunk of Fordice's contributions come from gaming interests. In addition, Molpus has begun
attacks against Fordice's newly proposed "middle class tax break" which, when broken down,
is easily discerned as a tax break for big business and upper class families.
Molpus is set to begin a national fundraising campaign, which is expected to include activities
with Mississippi author John Grisham. Grisham, a strong Democrat, is talking with the. Molpus
campaign about incorporating a fundraising effort into an upcoming book tour through California
and New York. Molpus has also talked with the DNC about developing a strategy for soliciting
support from the Democratic Jewish community, which should be successful given Fordice's
history of making anti-semitic statements to the public and press .. The National Education
Association (NEA) may also give up to $100,000 to the Mississippi Coordinated Campaign.
·Given the demographics of Mississippi, this will be a difficult race for the Democrats to win.
However, the lack of a Democratic primary challenge will allow state Democrats to rally support
behind· Molpus and to expand their grassroots organization throughout the state. The Molpus
campaign is in the process of completing their benchmark poll, which they expect will show
Overall, the
their candidate trailing Fordice by approximately 20 percentage points.
Mississippi gubernatorial race is viewed by the DNC as a "long shot with low expectations."
KENTUCKY
Primary Election:
Runoff Election
General Election:
May 23
June 27
November 7
While Kentucky has traditionally been a strong Democratic state, the Republican Party made
significant inroads in the 1994 election. Statewide, the Democrats captured only 41 percent of
the vote in the 1994 congressional elections. Issues such as gun control, gays in the military and
tobacco taxes have all been factors in Kentucky's GOP growth.
'1)
�Page 3
Newly implemented election laws will lend a new dynamic to the 1995 race. First and foremost,
the new laws allow · for public financing and require the nominees for Governor and Lt.
Governor to run together as ticket. In order to qualify for public financing in the primary, at
least two candidates must qualify for public financing (a two to one match) by raising a
minimum of $600,000 in the primary cycle. The new laws also provide for a primary runoff
election if no single candidate receives more than 40 percent of the primary vote, and will allow
the Governor elected in 1995 to seek re-election in 1999. (Kentucky has previously been a oneterm state).
The candidates are as follows:
-Lt. Governor Paul Patton (D); and his running-mate
Louisville city councilmember Steve Henry;
-Secretary of State Bob Babbage (D) and his running-mate
former Homebuilders Association President Tommy Thompson;
-State Senate President Eck Rose (D) and his running-mate
Jefferson County Property Administrator Denise Harper Angel;
-Former gubernatorial nominee Larry Forgy (R) and his running-mate
Laureo County Attorney Tom Handy; and
-Former state GOP Chair Bob Gable, who filed without a running-mate as part of
his challenge to the new election laws.
·
The sentiment among Kentucky pOliticos is that there is little to no excitement about the 1995
race. The early polls, conducted in December, 1994 and January, 1995 showed Patton taking
a significant lead among Kentucky's Democratic voters. However, Rose's late entry into the
race will likely lead to a tighter race closer to the primary. In a key victory, Patton won the
early endorsements of the Kentucky Education Association and the United Auto Workers in the
primary and general elections. The state AFL-CIO will make its endorsement during their
March 27-28 convention.
The conventional wisdom· in Kentucky is that Patton will either win outright in the primary, or
head into a runoff with Rose or Babbage. While Patton has been laying the groundwork for his
gubernatorial bid over the last four to five years, his campaign has yet to take off, despite the
fact that he was ·the top vote-getter in 'the state during his election as State Auditor ( 1987) and
Secretary of State (1991).
In the GOP primary, neither Forgy nor Gable is eligible for public financing, due. to Gable's
failure to raise the necessary $600,000 for matching funds. Forgy is considered the strong
Republican frontrunner and should win hisparty's nomination with little difficulty .
.~
�Page 4
I.
While the gubernatorial race should be highly competitive, the lack of enthusiasm among
Democratic voters could give the Republicans a strong advantage in the general election. Early
reports of voter registration numbers, since the implementation of motor voter in January, show
Democrats attracting about 37 percent of the 15,000 new voters. Approximately 30 percent of
new voters have aligned themselves with the GOP, while 33 percent registered as independents.
The relatively high number of new independent voters illustrates the lack of enthusiasm in the
partisan match-ups. In addition to low morale, a divisive primary battle among the Democrats,
coupled with a runoff primary ·challenge, would give added momentum to the Republican's
campaign efforts.
LOUISIANA
Filing Period:
Primary Date:
Runoff Date:
General Election:
September 5-7
October 21
NA
November 18
With the filing deadline still six months away, the open primary race is shaping into a potential
14-way match-up. Unless one candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote, the top two
vote-getters in the October 21st primary will proceed to the general election, regardless of party
affiliation.
Key announced Democrats in the primary race include: U.S. Representative Cleo Fields; U.S.
Representative William Jefferson; Lt. Governor Melinda Schwegmann; state Treasurer Mary
Landrieu; attorney Phil Pries; and state Senator Mike Foster. Leading Republican contenders
include: former Governor Buddy Roemer; former Governor David Treen; state Representative
Quentin Dastugue and pro-life activist Cary Kimbrell. Other possible candidates in the '95 race
are:. U.S. Senator Bennett Johnston (D) and former state Representative David Duke.
The general consensus among political analysts and party leaders in the state is that Roemer will
make it into the runoff with "someone else." A recent Mason-Dixon poll showed Roemer
leading Johnston 21 percent to 16 percent, with Landrieu receiving 11 percent and Schwegmann
nine percent of the vote. Fields followed with five percent of the vote, while Jefferson received
only three percent. Mason-Dixon also polled for the race without Johnston as a candidate. The
poll showed Roemer leading with 24 percent of the vote, followed by Landrieu and Schwegmann
each with 12 percent, Fields with seven percent of the vote and Jefferson with four percent. In
general election match-ups, the poll showed Roemer defeating Johnston 45 percent to 37 percent,
Schwegmann 51 percent to 34 percent, and Landrieu 50 percent to 31 percent. Political insiders
have suggested that Johnston wants to run, but ~s "testing the waters" to determine his electoral
strength before making a decision.
Among Democrats, the entry of both Fields and Jefferson in the race will likely lead to a ·split
among African American vote, and result in a match-up between two white candidates in the
general election. And the presence of both Landrieu and Schwegmann in the race will
. significantly split the female vote; Landrieu recently received the endorsement of the Women's
Campaign Fund.
�Page 5
Though Roemer leads in the polls, he may ultimately be significantly outspent by a Democratic
challenger, making this a toss-up race. In fundraising, Landrieu has outraised Roemer by a 3
to 1 margin with $1.3 raised, while Johnston enjoys a campaign warchest of approximately $2
million --which could be converted to his gubernatorial campaign should he decide to run.·
Louisiana is a traditionally Democratic state which went for Clinton/Gore in 1992 with 46.6
percent of the vote. Democrats received 49.9 percent of the vote statewide in the 1994
congressional races.
The gubernatorial race will be a very volatile and racially explosive
situation until the dust settles after the primary. We should keep a very close eye on the race,
but we need to avoid getting snarled in the primary.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
Doug Sosnik
RE:
1996 Gubernatorial Races
Attached is a summary of the 1996 gubernatorial races. Eleven states will elect governors. next
year. Seven seats are currently held by Democrats while four are held by Republicans. At this
point, there are almost no opportunities for Democratic pick-ups. Many of the Democratic seats
appear to be safe, however, and the worst case scenario has the Democrats losing between one
and three seats.
Of the Democratic seats, three are most likely to be in play. As you know, the scandal
surrounding Washington Governor Mike Lowry (D) has seriously clouded the picture on. this
race. In Indiana, Governor Evan Bayh (D) is term-limited and Lt. Gov. Frank O'Bannon (D)
will face a tough race to succeed him. Governor Jim Hunt (D-NC) is currently favored to win
re-election but the political dynamics of the state will likely make the race a competitive one.
Governors Tom Carper (D-DE), Mel Carnahan (D-MO) and Howard Dean (D-VT) are expected
to seek and win re-election and the Democrats will likely hold on to the open seat in West
Virginia.
.
Of the Republican seats, we will have our best opening if Montana Governor Marc Racicot (RMT) decides to run against Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) rather than seek re-election. (Such a
scenario would place Baucus in serious jeopardy.) If Racicot decides to seek re-election, he is
heavily favored to win, as are Governors Steve Merrill (R-NH), Ed Schafer (R-ND) and Mike
Leavitt (R-UT).
'
�..
DELAWARE
Democratic incumbent Governor Thomas Carper will likely seek re-election in 1996. He is not
expected to face serious primary opposition, and there is little indication of a strong general
election challenge from the Republican Party. However, Carper may face some opposition
from organized labor. Labor feels Carper has reneged on commitments he made during his 1992
campaign. This controversy may develop into a minor primary challenge from a local union
candidate.
With the economy doing well and the Governor's approval ratings in the high 60s, this is
considered a safe seat for Carper in 1996. Carper was elected to his first term in '92 with 65%
of the vote in the general election.
In the unlikely event that Senator Biden decides to retire in 1996, Carper has been mentioned
as the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. If this seat were open, the gubernatorial race
would become a toss-up.
INDIANA
Popular Governor Evan Bayh (D) is term-limited. Lt. Gov. Frank O'Bannon (D) has cleared
the Democratic field for 1996.
On the Republican side, speculation continues about whether Dan Quayle will run. Until
recently, it appeared unlikely that he would make the race, but he apparently is still giving the
race very serious consideration. His executive assistant said on 3/24/95 that Quayle is "anxious
.. ~ to have a dialogue ... with the people of Indiana about what he should do" and that he would
make up his mind by Memorial Day. (Marilyn Quayle, meanwhile, has said that she has little
desire for the job and is considered extremely unlikely to run.)
Although Quayle remains the 800-pound gorilla of the race, not all activity on the GOP side of
this race has halted. Insurance executive Patrick Rooney and former state GOP Chair Rex Early
are already hitting the hustings; Rooney says he will stay in the race regardless of what Quayle
does while Early will likely exit if Quayle runs. Assuming Quayle does not run, Indianapolis
Mayor Steve Goldsmith (R) will also likely enter the race. If Goldsmith does run, he will be
the immediate frontrunner. As mayor, Goldsmith faces an easy re-election contest this year and
has $1.6 million in the bank which is transferable to a gubernatorial campaign. Also,
Indianapolis television reaches 43% of the state so he will begin next year's race with a strong
advantage in name recognition. Former Lt. Gov. and utility executive John Mutz (R) and State
Senate President Bob Garton (R) are also mentioned as possible candidates but are unlikely to
make the race.
If Quayle runs, it will be extremely difficult to hold on to this seat. If he does not run, the most
likely scenario is an O'Bannon-Goldsmith race. O'Bannon is a talented campaigner and is wellliked among those who know him but there is some question about whether O'Bannon can
convert Bayh's popularity to Democratic votes. (Bayh and O'Bannon are not close.) Further,
�Indiana is a Republican state and Goldsmith will have a well-funded, well-organized operation.
O'Bannon can win this race but he faces an uphill climb.
Bush-Quayle carried Indiana in 1992 and the Republicans are likely to do so again in 1996. The
Democrats lost three House seats in the state in 1994 and Democratic performance in the
Hoosier State last year was 43.2%.
MISSOURI
Democratic incumbent Mel Carnahan will seek re-election to a second term in 1996. ·While
there is not yet a strong potential GOP challenger to Carnahan, the state GOPers believe the
Governor is vulnerable because of a 1993 education tax increase approved by the state legislature
and because ofthe ongoing ethics problems of Democratic House Speaker Bob Griffin. (Griffm
has been accused of trying to use his influence as Speaker to benefit his legal clients.) The state
GOP plans to run their own "Contract with Missouri" in 1996, which will focus on the ethics
issues raised by the Griffin controversy. Potential Republican challengers include former
Attorney General candidate David Steelman, State Auditor Margaret Kelly and Senate Minority
Leader Frank Flotron. Steelman is currently considered the likely frontrunner for the GOP
nomination.
A campaign finance law backed and signed by the Governor last year prohibits fundraising
during the legislative session, which runs January through May of each year. Leading GOP
challengers would have to raise a significant warchest by the end of December, 1995 in- order
to be financially competitive in the primary and/or general election. Governor Carnahan
currently has approximately $400,000 on-hand and has kept a strong fundraising operation in
place since the 1992 election.
A Harrison Hickman poll conducted for the Carnahan campaign in January showed the Governor
enjoying job performance ratings of 62% positive/29% negative. The same poll showed your
job performance ratings as 46% positive/52% negative. Democratic performance in Missouri
was 51.7% in 1994.
MONTANA
A newspaper poll last month showed that 79% of Montanans approved of Republican Governor
Racicot's (pronounced "Rosco") job performance, with the accompanying headline: "He could
run for king." Racicot is a young, articulate politician, regarded as a "real Montanan." A
moderate former Democrat, he is well-liked by people of all political stripes and could pose a
serious threat to Senator Baucus in 1996. He is an active anti-choice advocate.
If Racicot decides to run for re-election, as is currently speculated, he will likely face token
opposition. Well-known Democrats who may challenge the governor to boost their name
recognition for ·future statewide races include: Secretary of State Mike Cooney; Insurance
Commissioner Mark O'Keefe; Superintendent of Public Instruction Nancy Keenan; or former
L . . . __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
�State Legislator Dorthy Bradley (who lost to Racicot by only 2 points in 1992). If Racicot
decides to run against Baucus for Senate in 1996, any of the previously mentioned statewide
Democrats may enter the race, in addition to Attorney General Joe Mazurek, whose moderate
stands and his ties to the business community makes him a leading challenger. Lieutenant
Governor Dennis Rheberg represents the Republicans' only other state-wide elected official, and
his close association with the radical right could limit his appeal to moderate, independent
voters.
You carried Montana in 1992 with 38% of the vote and became 'the first Democrat to win this
Republican-leaning state since Lyndon Johnson. Democratic performance in 1994 was 53.5%.
NEW HAMPSHIRE
Gubernatorial elections in New Hampshire are held every two years. Governor Steve Merrill
(R) is very popular and was re-elected to a second term in 1994 with 71 % of the vote. He is
expected to seek re-election though his plans are not entirely clear. New Hampshire faces a
budgetary crisis and some believe that Merrill would like to get out of the hot seat before the
situation comes to a head. There has also been talk of the Governor switching places on the
ticket with Rep. Bill Zeliff (R) in 1996, though the likeliest scenario is that he seeks and wins
re-election.
·
On the Democratic side, State Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D) is testing the waters for a possible
bid. 1992 nominee Arne Arnesen and 1994 nominee Wayne King have also been mentioned as
possible candidates. Although you carried the state in 1992, New Hampshire is a solidly
Republican state and the GOP swept the elections in 1994. (Democratic performance there in
1994 was 40.7%.) It is highly unlikely that we will capture this seat.
NORTH CAROLINA
Governor Jim Hunt (D) was elected to a third·, non-consecutive term in 1992 (he previously
served as governor from 1977-1985). Although your approval numbers are low in North
Carolina and the Democrats took a beating there during the 1994 elections -- the Democrats lost
four House seats and control of the state House of Representatives -- the Governor remains
popular and will seek a fourth term. At this point, Hunt has positioned himself well on the
state's ideological spectrum -- he backed a very centrist agenda during his first term back in
office -- and appears to have a decisive edge. Nonetheless, the Republican trend in the state
prevents his re-election from being a safe bet. Charlotte Mayor Richard Vinroot (R) is already
running and is considered the most likely GOP nominee. House Majority Leader Lee Daughtrey
(R) is also considering the race and Rep. Charlie Taylor (R) is rumored to be a possible
candidate, though Taylor is almost always rumored to be considering a gubernatorial bid but has
never made the race.
Bush-Quayle narrowly carried North Carolina in 1992 but the Republicans are likely to win
more decisively there in 1996. (Democratic performance there was 44.1% in 1994.) It is quite
possible that the gubernatorial contest -- and the presidential campaign -- will take a back seat
to Sen. Jesse Helms' (R) re-election contest in terms of draining political resources in the state
and media attention.
�NORTH DAKOTA
Governor Ed Schafer (R) is expected to seek and win a second term. He enjoys an approval
. rating close to 60%. The potential Democratic field has yet to form.
UTAH
First term Governor Mike Leavitt (R) is exJ)ected to face a relatively easy re-election. Leavitt
enjoys a 70% plus approval rating and is developing a national profile as chair of the Republican
Governors Association. He has devoted much of his frrst term to welfare reform, and
reinventing government issues, while he has resisted his more conservative state legislature on
tax-cutting proposals. Scott Howell, a Mormon who is the Democratic House Minority Leader,
is contemplating a run. Other potential challengers include: Palmer DePaulis, former Mayor
of Salt Lake City; and Pat Shea, who unsuccessfully challenged Orrin Hatch in 1994.
In 1992, you ran third with 26% in this staunchly conservative state, losing to Perot by 3%.
Ironically, Salt Lake City has Democratic leanings, electing a string of Democratic mayors
dating back to 1975. 1994 Democratic performance there was 46.1 %.
VERMONT
Gubernatorial races in Vermont are held every two years. Governor Howard Dean (D) was reelected with 70% of the vote last year and all indications are that he will seek and win reelection in 1996. Lt. Gov. Barbara Snelling (R), widow of the deceased former Governor
Richard Snelling (R), is always mentioned as a possible candidate and may run this time. State
Senator Sara Gear (R) is a possibility if Snelling does not run.
WASHINGTON
Governor Mike Lowry (D) finds himself embroiled in a sexual harassment scandal that threatens
the viability of his administration. Although a report issued last week stated that the governor
"probably did not sexually harass" former press aide Suzanne Albright, it chronicled in detail
specific allegations of touches, caresses, and angry outbursts. Following the report's release,
Albright unsuccessfully attempted to commit suicide, while Lowry restated his intention to seek
re-election and declared himself exonerated. The report's author, Mary Alice Theiler, countered
Lowry's interpretation of the report, saying "this report does not clear Mike Lowry." Other
rumored harassment cases continue to dog the governor, including the case of two former
Congressional aides who have reportedly talked to the Seattle Post Intelligencer. Media stories
have also surfaced recounting alleged incidents of Lowry's alcohol abuse. Even before these
allegations surfaced, a series of unpopular tax increases had eroded Lowry's support to record
lows. Although Lowry touts an impressive list of legislative accomplishments, a poll taken prior
to the sexual harassment allegations showed his approval rating at 28%.
Although Lowry intends to seek re-election, he is likely to face a primary challenge.
Prospective Democratic challengers include popular Attorney General Christine Gregoire, who
has a tough crime record and a moderate image; King County Executive Gary Locke, who
represents nearly one third of tl!_e state; and Insurance Commissioner Deborah Senn, a populist
but little-known reformer. Lowry could ultimately serve as a drag on the 1996 ticket even if
�,
.
he loses his bid for the nomination, because Washington's late September primary cuts deep into
·
the general election cycle. ·
On the Republican side, only Tacoma Lawyer Jim Waldo has officially announced. Right wing
freshman Republican Representative Linda Smith, who defeated Jolene Unsoeld in 1994,
Republican State Chair Ken Eikenberry, who narrowly lost to Lowry in 1992, and State Senator
Pam Roach, who enjoys strong backing from the Christian Coalition, are considered the
strongest challengers.
Even though you won Washington in 1992 with 44% of the vote, state Democrats suffered an
electoral battering on November 8. They lost 6 House seats including Speaker Foley, 27 state
House seats, and failed to oust unpopular Republican Senator Slade Gorton (R). Despite the
blow-out, Democratic congressional performance in Washington in 1994 was 49.2%.
WEST VIRGINIA
Two-term incumbent Democrat Gaston Caperton is barred from seeking re-election to a third
term. Possible Democratic candidates for the 1996 race include: state Senator Joe Manshion,
the cousin of the state Christian Coalition Director Mark Manshion; ·state Senator Ned Jones,
the brother of Kentucky Governor Brereton Jones; 1992 candidate and former state Senator
Charlotte Pritt; and former Caperton campaign chair Lloyd Jackson. An independent poll
conducted last month among Charleston voters showed Pritt and Manshion leading among
Democratic voters with 33 percent and 19 percent of the vote, respectively. Both have
organized 1996 campaign operations. The Republican field remains unclear. A number of
lesser known names have been mentioned for the GOP nomination, but no declared candidates
have einerged.
West Virginia is a traditionally Democratic state with a Democratic Governor and an entirely
Democratic congressional delegation. In the 1994 elections, the Democratic performance was
66.1 percent. This seat should remain in the Democratic column in 1996.
