...that afternoon, Bush's top aides came together to save the campaign, but they were really plotting a murder. It was the Bush high command, with its South Carolina auxiliary: Rove; spokeswoman Hughes, as well as Warren Tompkins, a longtime G.O.P. operative in the state; state attorney general Charlie Condon; Lieutenant Governor Bob Peeler; and former Governor David Beasley. As a participant put it later, this was the moment "we decided to take the gloves...
...after the FTC issued its report, South Carolina attorney general Charlie Condon called it a "smoking gun" that would allow him and other state attorneys general to sue the entertainment companies in the same way they successfully sued the tobacco industry.

Housed within the R.N.C., the group will develop policies with G.O.P. principles and support Republican A.G. candidates, says chairman Charlie Condon, attorney general of South Carolina. Among those principles: letting the free market be free. Condon, the only state attorney general to drop off the Microsoft case, won't say how much the company donated to the group.
