    One of the unnoticed after-effects of the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington has been a delay in the planned release of the last — and largest — media recount of presidential election returns in Florida. Though it seems strange to contemplate today, as George W. Bush goes about his business as commander in chief, under different circumstances this week would likely have seen a high-profile attempt to renew the question of his legitimacy as president. Before the events of September 11, editors at a consortium of blue-chip news organizations — the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall ...

    Poll: Gore Improving With Democrats Associated Press Last Updated: Jan. 18, 2000 at 7:15:22 p.m. WASHINGTON - Al Gore is leading Bill Bradley by a healthy margin in Iowa just before the caucuses, aided by strong support among Democratic core groups and a preference by Democrats for his approach to health care, says a poll released Tuesday. In the Los Angeles Times Poll, Vice President Gore had the support of 58 percent of likely Democratic voters in the state while Bradley, a former senator from New Jersey, had the support of 35 percent. Gore has held a 20-point lead in ...

    PASSACONAWAY, NH - George W. Bush has just received the endorsement of Timmy Johnson's Daily Doodle. The newspaper enjoys a wide circulation among 5th grade students at the Mark Twain Elementary School in Passaconaway, NH. In making the endorsement, Timmy Johnson said that he and his fellow 5th graders could identify with the Texas governor. "First of all," said little Timmy, "the guy owned his own baseball team and how cool is that? Second, his dad (former President George H.W. Bush) never made him eat broccoli. And third, Gov. Bush pulled straight C's in school and his folks never hollered ...
  • Inside Politics - "Meltdown"

    Washington Times ^ | 12/27/99 | Greg Pierce
    Meltdown Presidential candidate Gary Bauer says the campaign of Republican front-runner George W. Bush is falling apart.     "Well, I think the story that really isn't being reported enough yet is that the Bush candidacy in some ways is in meltdown," Mr. Bauer said yesterday on Fox News Sunday. "He has collapsed in New Hampshire. I think the prospect now is that he will lose the New Hampshire primary. That happened rapidly. . . . Nobody rang a bell. One day he was in the lead by 20 points, and now it's a toss-up at best. I think he can melt down ...
  • Washington Bulletin - THE BUSH RECOVERY BEGINS

    www.nationalreview.com ^ | 12/14/99 | National Review editors
    THE BUSH RECOVERY BEGINS When the debates began, George W. Bush was being held to an unfairly high standard: Nobody can dominate a debate the way the Texas governor has dominated the race outside the auditorium. Now, however, the expectations game is working in Bush’s favor. By performing so poorly in the first two debates, Bush made last night’s adequate performance seem pretty good. Bush gave a very solid answer to Tom Brokaw’s question about missile defense, ably pointing out the absurdity of viewing its deployment as an act of aggression. He did well on taxes, too — or "the ...
  • State of the Conservatives - We're All Clintonites Now

    State of the Conservatives We are all Clintonites now. by Ramesh Ponnuru November 22, 1999 Does the conservative movement need to take some lithium? As the Washington Post's Thomas B. Edsall recently observed, over the last five years its mood has swung from giddy optimism to despair and back again. The arc can be traced in the pronouncements of individual conservatives. Less than a year ago, Bill Bennett was despairing of the American public's moral insipidity, as evidenced by its conspicuous lack of outrage at Bill Clinton's misconduct. Now he blesses George W. Bush's efforts to put a smiley ...
