Cheney naming stuns both sides
■ George W. Bush’s choice for running mate has abortion
rights groups on edge, and conservatives in high hopes
By Kristy Hessman
Oregon Daily Emerald
The recent announcement of
Richard Cheney as Republican
presidential candidate Ceorge
W. Bush’s running mate has not
only surprised members of both
parties, but has also begun fo cre
ate concerns among special in
terest groups-.
“In a sense it was very surpris
_ ing,” Repub
lican Chair of
Lane County
Jeff I Ioyt
said. “Not
only because
he was a pick
out of left
field, but be
cause he
hadn't been
—Hi mentioned.”
BUSH Members
of the Demo
cratic Party also found this to be
an unexpected outcome.
“He was rumored, but we
were expecting a different nomi
nee, someone more currently in
volved.” Chairman of the Demo
cratic Party of Oregon Jim
Edmunson said. “Cheney is re
tired. We knew he was helping,
but we didn’t think they couldn't
find anybody else.”
According to many Republi
cans. Cheney would represent a
good, safe and solid choice for
Bush.
“From what 1 have heard he is
good-tempered and unlikely to
cause controversy,” Hoyt said.
“He seems like a pretty solid
choice.”
While Republicans believe
that Bush’s choice can only
strengthen the Republican ticket,
others seem to disagree.
“I don’t think it will have any
effect,” Edmunson said. “Cheney
is from the same right-wing par
ty as Bush — he brings nothing
new to the ticket.”
Other groups are beginning to
worry about effects the combina
tion of right-wing power could
have on various issues, particu
larly abortion.
“It is clear where Bush stands
on this issue, as well as Cheney,”
said Mick Weltman, executive di
rector of the Oregon chapter of
the National Abortion and Repro
ductive Rights League. “A
woman’s right to choose would
be in jeopardy from a Bush-Ch
eney administration.”
NARAL has also brought up
concerns about how a Bush ad
ministration would go about
supporting its anti-abortion
stance.
“Both Bush and Cheney
would appoint anti-choice
Supreme Court justices and Cab
inet officials, as well as sign leg
islation threatening reproductive
rights,” said Alice Germond,
NARAL’s executive vice presi
dent.
Members of the Democratic
Party also agree that Bush’s
choice has made his stance on
abortion obviously clear.
“A Bush-Cheney White House
would put women in prison for
having abortions,” Edmunson
said.
The Republicans, on the other
hand, believe that having two
anti-choice representatives will
not weaken their ticket.
‘‘Bush will not lose anything
from this move,” Hoyt said. “It
will be helpful and keep the con
servatives in the fold.”
CC He (Cheney) was ru
mored, but we were ex
pecting a different nomi
nee, someone more
currently involved. Ch
eney is retired. We knew
he was helping, but we
didn’t think they couldn’t
find anybody else.
Jim Edmunson
Chairman of the
Democratic Party
of Oregon
Both sides can see that the
abortion issue is a dividing point
among the two candidates.
“Overall, this issue is proba
bly the biggest difference be
tween the two candidates,” Ed
munson said.
Convention
continued from page 1
ing for her trip.
“There is going to be so much
going on,” she said. “They tel)
you to bring an empty suitcase
because you bring so much back
with you."
Along with excitement inside
the convention, a different type
of excitement is expected to take
place outside the convention.
Daily protests have been
planned to take place July 29
through August 3.
Protesters will address every
thing from health care to workers
rights, the environment to death
row issues. According to a recent
Washington Post article, protest
ers are also in the process of
building an 80-foot float called
Corpizilla, which will make its
appearance on the streets of
Philadelphia.
“I'm not too worried about the
protesters," Reed said. “There
are supposed to be shuttle buses
that take us everywhere.”
While the convention as a
whole is expected to be exciting,
the political side may not be as
controversial as previous con
ventions.
“There doesn’t seem like there
is going to be much controversy
regarding the issues,” said Lane
County’s Republican Party Chair
Jeff Hoyt.
“Most of the controversial is
sues the party has dealt with in
the past have been dealt with in
ternally. There is more unanimi
ty among the party now.”
Some of the issues that will be
/dealt with surprised some of the
representatives.
“I thought some of the main is
sues would be drugs or crime or
prescriptions,” Reed said. “Many
of the issues are things like
salmon, damns and property
rights.”
Along with the community
getting geared up for the elec
tion, so are students from the
University. Three people —
James Eddy, Andy Combs and
Dave Roselip — will be attend
ing the convention and staying
in campus dorms.
“It is exciting that people are
