RN/MICH.
Generally good coverage of RN trip, tho highest it was played in
AMs was #2 in Sun and #3 in Post. Inquirer's "Tens of Thousands Hail
RN, 11 Star's "Rural Mich Cheers Pres¹¹ and Post's note of "Friendly
Reception" were only headline comments on crowd, while other papers
viewed used terms "Campaigns" and "Takes to Election Stump."
6 of 7 papers seen w/ p. 1 pics, (p. 2 in NY News) predominantly of
RN w/ friendly crowds, "Hands for the Chief¹¹ captions Trib bottom of
p. 1 photo. "Mixed Reviews¹¹ captions NY News centerfold pics of RN
greeting friendly crowd and of RN in midst of impch signs
Same
pics on p. 1 in Post.
Reports note presence of some critics but more numerous supporters.
But WS Journal's Zimmerman says "RN saw and heard more hostility
than in most recent appearances, which have been aimed at carefully
selected friendly audiences."
Most accounts also noted RN didn't mention W'gate and pointed
out how RN could benefit from a Sparling win.
NBC's Paxton w/ Today report said RN visit to Mich was "steeped
in controversy" before it began w/ "open argument¹ among GOPs over
whether it'd help or hurt Sparling. That reportedly made RN angry, so
he decided to put his case to the people. Over film of RN being applauded
at airport, Paxton said he was greeted warmly by most of the people.
Signs were about equal in number pro and con, but most weren't
carrying any. Sparling had also said RN wouldn't be campaigning for
him but would be getting out of DC and talking w/ the people, Paxton
noted. Continuing w/ film of motorcade in "GOP country, 11 he said
towns like Cass City went to a lot of trouble for the visit. Cass City
mayor predicted crowds would be so friendly, RN would be able to
walk and it seemed so, said Paxton. RN always mentioned Sparling
briefly, but talked about high prices, unemployment and energy, he
noted, as RN on film pointed to the "bottleneck" in Hill and the need for
a man like Sparling who wouldn't be a "no-man" or "rubber stamp. " But,
Paxton went on, Traxler says RN is real issue and election will be
referendum. On film, Traxler said election could mean GOPs have
decided how they' react to RN. If he (Traxler) wins, Hill will then
work actively toward impchment. If he loses, status quo will be
maintained and RN will be safe an d secure" for 3 more years. Election
