[0:07] A CBS News exclusive. The Doe camp drops

[0:10] the strongest hint yet that Colon Pal

[0:13] will be offered a high cabinet post well

[0:15] before the election. We'll get live

[0:17] reaction from Nuke Gingrich and Patrick

[0:19] Hannon as the Republican convention

[0:21] rolls on to day two in San Diego.

[0:27] This is the CBS Evening News

[0:32] with Dan Rather reporting from the

[0:34] Republican National Convention in San

[0:36] Diego.

[0:38] Good evening. CBS News has been told

[0:40] that retired General Coen Powell is

[0:42] under consideration for a top post in a

[0:45] Dole cabinet such as Secretary of State

[0:47] and that Senator Dole is considering

[0:49] announcing that far in advance of the

[0:51] election. Moreover, the senator is

[0:53] considering a plan to name in advance

[0:55] his top two or three cabinet members to

[0:57] give team Dole a postconvention

[1:00] pre-election boost. All this comes after

[1:02] General Coen Powell delivered a

[1:03] wellreceived speech here last night. Our

[1:06] coverage begins with 60 Minutes

[1:08] correspondent Ed Bradley. Ed.

[1:09] >> Dan, there was an electricity in this

[1:11] hall last night and it wasn't just

[1:13] opening night. This was to be the first

[1:15] major political speech by a man who has

[1:17] loomed large in this campaign, but who

[1:19] has been reluctant to step forward in an

[1:21] active role as a Republican, the retired

[1:24] chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,

[1:25] General Pal. And if there was

[1:28] concern as to how he would be received

[1:30] here, it receded with his opening

[1:32] remarks.

[1:33] my fellow Americans, my fellow

[1:35] Republicans.

[1:39] >> Howal was greeted with enthusiasm and

[1:41] standing ovations mor
