Remarks After Voting in Russell, Kansas

November 05, 1996

UNKNOWN: McCain said — McCain said, "We're ready to go another 96."

[laughter]

DOLE: Well, he may be, but I'm not.

MS. DOLE: Oh, yes.

QUESTION: Senator, any predictions?

DOLE: Last time we were together it was Barbara Walters, I guess.

UNKNOWN: That's right. That's right.

[laughter]

QUESTION: Senator, any word for the great state of Kansas?

DOLE: I just thank you. I'm going to have a statement that I'm going to make over at the house. So...

QUESTION: This is a big moment for Russell, Kansas.

DOLE: A big moment. I voted right.

[laughter]

QUESTION: Senator, any predictions?

DOLE: I'm number 288, so it's a pretty good turnout, I think.

QUESTION: Senator, what were your reflections in the voting booth?

DOLE: Well, I thought about — this is it. We've done all this work. I'll say it better in a statement in a few minutes, but...

QUESTION: Put the mike up a little bit...

DOLE:... done the best we could and worked hard. The last thing we do is vote. And I'll tell you that I voted for myself.

[laughter]

UNKNOWN: Take care. It's great to see you.

MS. DOLE: You bet.

UNKNOWN: Yes, right, right.

[off-mike]

[applause]
