Oct. 16, 1996:
St. Petersburg, Fla., was hoping to get the 2nd Clinton-Dole debate, but it went instead to San Diego.
It is a more aggressive Bob Dole in his debate against President Clinton than we saw 10 days earlier, but all polls show the Republican challenger failing to make any headway.
The 90-minute debate in San Diego, their second and final encounter, has Dole attacking Clinton on "character" and ethics issues, and Clinton responding by calling Dole "out of touch."
