So did the Republican presidential candidate that tells a lot about the state of 'the campaign as it draws to a close. Both candidates worried about Ross Perot, and that tells a lot, too. Democrat Bill Clinton, still the solid leader in the national polls, campaigned like he was seeking a 50-state landslide. 1 "Umj Residency Florida Wills and the Powers of Attorney Living Wills and Florida Guardianship Avoiding Estate Taxes Settlement Costs and Taxes The Joint Tenancy Trap The Revocable Living Trust Join us at one of our free seminars.

And Perot campaigned, with breathtaking splurges of TV time, to counter the customary enemy of independent candidates: the voters' reluctance to waste their votes on someone perceived as a can't-win candidate. Clinton and Bush drew enthusiastic crowds. Both were both upbeat. Clinton tooted on a high school bandsman's saxophone in Eugene, Ore.

and strutted around in a two-tone leather motorcycle jacket at another campaign stop. In Oregon, he called for the defeat of a ballot measure that would restrict the rights of homosexuals. Earlier, more cautious, he had sidestepped taking a stand. Bush, meantime, came out of Monday night's final presidential debate with batteries charged. He stuck to his themes: trust and taxes, claiming Clinton didn't deserve the former and would raise the latter.

Forecasting a Truman-like come-from-behind win, he mounted a Truman-like whistlestop train tour of Dixie. Like all trailing candidates, he pooh-poohed the polls. "Forget about all those polls," he exhorted voters in Norcross, Ga. Polls usually draw closer in the closing days. And Bush claimed they were.

CLINTON Clinton, instead, campaigned in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and Nevada, states that normally vote Republican and that have relatively few electoral votes. Combined they have fewer than Ohio's 21.

He even campaigned in usually rock-ribbed Republican Orange County, Calif. Bush, for his part, labored in places that have been Republican Strongholds for a generation to keep them from straying onto the Demo- he told a rally in Ridgewood, N.J. But the polls did not reflect major movement. The margins varied but all suggested a sizable Clinton win. In national polls, he led by between 8 and 19 percentage points.

Perot climbed in the polls, too, into the teens and to 20 percent in a couple instances, making both his rivals wary. Perot also disclosed he was putting $60 million of his own money into his campaign. In the first two weeks of October, his campaign reported, he spent nearly $2 million a day, mostly on television.

Under "Choice of the Day," the menu recalls that Bush told Rolling Stone in 1980 that he thought the Roe vs. Wade abortion decision was right, butsayingin 1989 that itwas wrong. There is a Children's Menu section because "After all, you can't vote until you're 18," with choices of Half-Baked Head Start, School Choice Flounder, Charbroiled Middle Class Cuts and Family Leave-Late night Veto Special. All feature conflicting Bush statements. Yesterday's Special is 'Chicken and Tomorrow's Special is "Lame Duck." The back page shows a sign "Going Out of Business" hanging across "George Bush's Waffle House," and notes that it was Established Jan.

20, 1989 and Closing Nov. 3,1992. And there is a footnote: "Tax not included, never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever MIAMI Bill Clinton's campaign was quick to seize on Bush's Waffle House excursion, handing out special menus that suggested the president was the proprietor of a Waffle House that served up "Iraq of Lamb," "Deep Voodoo Pie," and "Half-Baked Head Start." Bush put the Waffle House chain on the political map by making a breakfast stop at one in Spartanburg, S.C., on Thursday, and then, after some prodding by aides, telling audiences Clinton would turn the White House into a Waffle House if he were elected. On Friday, a Clinton agent came into Bush's press filing center and distributed the pseudo "Working Proceed" menu. "The White House is already George Bush's Waffle House," the bright yellow coffee-house-type menu declares.

The menu is encased in plastic, just like the real thing. It features "Read My Lips Service," "Jobs on the Short Side" and a "Pay Raise Souffle." The reader who chooses Sunny- 'OWtoiiCowi' -Jp i fie "fiUW1 flinufti t- itMigkmr Long after you've forgotten what George Bush and Bill Clinton didn't like about each other, other images from 1992 may endure. Like: Potato-with-an-E, the pander bear, Murphy Brown and "Don't cry for me, Argentina." That is the stuff campaign memories are made of: There was that day when Bush was enamored of a line from a country-western song by the Nitty-Gritty Dirt Band: "If you want to see a rainbow, you've got to stand a little rain." After the 10th repetition, or maybe the 15th, Bush gets tongue-tied and invents a new musical organization, crediting the line to "The Nitty Ditty Gritty Bitty Great Band." Just after the most famous barfing incident in the history of diplomacy the presidential vomit In the lap of Japanese Prime Minister Kiichl Miyazawa reporters Irritate Bush with health questions. Exasperated, the president finally blurts: "Don't cry for me, Argentina! Jeez, you get the flu and they make it into a federal case." Blowing smoke: "When I was in England, I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn't like it," says Clinton. "I didn't inhale." Quote: "I'm certainly going into this as a dog-eat-dog fight, and I will do what I have to do to be re-elected." George Bush.

Much of the campaign has that True Confessions feel. The report alleging Clinton had extramarital affairs surfaces in the Star, a weekly supermarket tabloid, and the Arkansas governor tries to brush it off: "The Star says Martians walk on the Earth and people have cow's heads," he says. I Clinton's Lament: He's haunted by "a woman I didn't sleep with and a draft I didn't dodge." I Telling images: Bush, trying to show he cares, goes into a J.C. Penney store to buy socks Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa, uses an eight-letter word beginning with bull so often to describe Bush rhetoric that some audiences begin shouting out the word before tie gets to it Paul Tsongas holds up a teddy bear and suggests that Clinton is a "pander bear" for taking any position that pleases crowds.

The Bush camp reprises the theme, dispatching a man dressed as a pander bear to Clinton events. I Famous Bush quote: "Message: I care." I Promise revisited: "Read my lips, no new taxes," said George Bush in 1988. "Listen, if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't do it," says George Bush in 1992 of the pledge. "Look at all the flak it's taking." I The great chicken war: Clinton backers dressed as chickens show up at Bush events to tweak the president for refusing to agree to proposed debates. Poultry-clad Bush supporters return the favor, tweaking Clinton for avoiding service in Vietnam.
