BATON ROUGE, LA -- Today Republican Presidential Candidate Patrick J.

Buchanan for President campaign in south Louisiana, which won seven of the

"I am honored to have Dottie on board," Mr. Buchanan said. "She is an
energetic organizer and experienced activist whose work in 1996 was
critical to our victory in the Louisiana caucus."
Dottie Watson lives in Metairie with her husband and five children and
