But a party spokesman said that there would not be a decision tonight.

Since the loss in the 1994 election, Ask has served as party spokesman of several issues.

He has no plans to become a national party spokesman, leaving that task to other members.

"By that I mean we have the same name," a party spokesman explained.

"Now we see why," a Democratic party spokesman said in a statement.

It only made sense, a party spokesman said at the time.

He often served as a party spokesman and ran for office himself.

A party spokesman later said the campaign budget was close to $833,000.

He also acted as party spokesman for development policy and arms control.

He was the party spokesman on Europe and external affairs.
