...luck holds out and he doesn't squander his opportunity, Clinton could walk away with the big prize--a deal that reflects his essential beliefs and robs Dole of his premier campaign issue. House Republican leaders are contemplating a last-chance offer that could attract bipartisan support: cutting $155 billion in Medicare, providing targeted tax cuts worth $180 billion, fattening the pool of discretionary spending a bit to woo liberals, and then getting in line behind the Senate's more moderate welfare-reform plan. If that plan goes nowhere with Clinton, Republicans will try to spend the next two weeks...
...would think that the Harvard Democrats would take advantage of the confusion on the right and work to attract disaffected moderates from the Republican ranks. However, College Democrats have been doing the exact opposite. Harvard's proud Democratic tradition includes the intellectual foundations of the New Deal and New Frontier, giving America luminaries and presidents from Franklin Delano Roosevelt '04 to Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. '38.

Hillary Clinton has stated under oath that she did little work related to the troubled S & L, but conflicting...
...Dole has a worry, it is the shallowness of his support among the state's conservatives. Campaign manager Scott Reed expects 40% of caucus-goers to be social or religious conservatives, twice the percentage that participated when Dole won in 1988. Reed's goal is for Dole to attract about one-fifth of that constituency, which he believes will be enough to give Dole 40% of the overall vote, a knockout blow. That's the chief reason Dole attacks what he believes are "Hollywood's nightmares of depravity" whenever he visits the state. And it helps explain why Dole...
