There's been some theorizing that Pat Buchanan represents a wing of the
nationalistic business class. While it's certainly true that Roger
Milliken, the reactionary textile magnate, supports Buchanan, he doesn't
seem to be getting much other biz support.

Today's (Mar 4) Wall Street Journal reports on the presidential preferences
of small business owners, as revealed to the Gallup Poll. The lineup:

undecided       10%

Clinton         31

Republicans     59
of which:
  Dole          39%
  Buchanan      19
  Forbes        16

So, Buchanan is the favorite of 11% (19% of 59%) of small biz owners, only
a third as many as Clinton.

On specifically small biz issues, 15% say Dole is best; 13%, Clinton and
Forbes (tied); 10%, Buchanan.
