WHYY'S IN-DEPTH COVERAGE OF THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION IN PHILADELPHIA

The Party's Over -- What Did It All Mean?

He characterized the "Clinton-Gore" administration as squandering opportunities in a time of great economic prosperity. He also vowed to return dignity to the office of the presidency. Bush added that he expects to wage an equally tough race against the Democrats.

The Democratic National Convention begins Monday, August 14 in Los Angeles.
