Robert talks with Ralph Reed, Jr., the director of the Christian Coalition. The Coalition is directing most of its resources toward the retention of a Republican majority in Congress, and election of state and local candidates who support the conservative ideals of the Coalition's membership. Reed says that this retargeting of Coalition resources does not mean that they've written off Bob Dole's chances of election, or that they don't support a Dole candidacy...but that their focus has always been on state and local politics and grass-roots involvement in political issues.
