[0:01] From ABC News, World News Sunday, here's
[0:06] Forest Sawyer.
[0:07] >> Good evening. Just two days left before
[0:09] the nation's first presidential primary
[0:11] in New Hampshire. No one would have
[0:13] predicted a year ago that both Democrats
[0:15] and Republicans would be running heated
[0:17] campaigns. Pat Buchanan is predicting an
[0:20] embarrassment for President Bush, who
[0:22] has accused the Buchanan campaign of
[0:24] outright lies. And Compton is watching
[0:27] the Republican race.
[0:29] George Bush bluntly told New Hampshire
[0:31] voters today this is no time to cast a
[0:34] protest vote and he did it without ever
[0:36] letting the name Pat Buchanan pass his
[0:38] lips. But one Republican voter
[0:40] confronted the president saying he likes
[0:42] much of what Buchanan is saying about
[0:44] the economy.
[0:45] >> Buchanan is coming across with this and
[0:47] I'm right on the fence with a half a
[0:48] dozen other votes and I want to hear
[0:50] what you got to say.
[0:50] >> It's one thing to make campaign rhetoric
[0:52] and it's another thing to get your
[0:54] sleeves rolled up and trying to support
[0:55] the president in getting it done. And
[0:58] that's my point to the voters of New
[0:59] Hampshire.
[1:00] >> In a jab apparently aimed at Buchanan's
[1:02] career as a television pundit, Mr. Bush
[1:05] said this is not an election for the man
[1:07] with the quickest wit.
[1:08] >> There are a lot of people out there a
[1:09] lot more charismatic than I am. But a
[1:12] lot of them aren't make don't have to
[1:13] make the tough decisions either. Heck,
[1:15] if that were the case, Phil Donahghue
[1:17] might be president of the United States.
[1:18] >> It is Buchanan's ad campaign, not his
[1:21] wit, that has angered
