...easy part is over for Bush. His tax plan is far less likely to get through the Senate intact. Democrats have begun to shake themselves out of their postelection Pardongate torpor; they're ready to rumble. "This is the President presenting his tax proposal," says Indiana's Evan Bayh. "This is not Moses coming down the mountain with tablets of stone." Even some Republican leaders aren't singing in unison with Bush. Finance Committee chairman Charles Grassley has predicted that the 10-year resolution his panel passes is likely to provide for tax cuts of "up to" Bush...
...Greenspan liked the idea as an insurance policy against an unexpected and prolonged economic downturn, which is exactly how the 11 moderates who just made Bush's list - Republicans Lincoln Chafee, Susan Collins, Jim Jeffords, Olympia Snowe and Arlen Specter, plus Democrats Bob Torricelli, Evan Bayh, Thomas Carper, Dianne Feinstein, Mary Landrieu and Debbie Stabenow - have seized on it.

A compromise bill could be the most substantive education reform in 35 years...
...affluent Dulles corridor. In May alone, CapNet and its member companies were host to 44 members of the House and Senate in eight forays. The visitors included House Speaker Dennis Hastert, the nation's most prominent Republican, and three of the Senate's most prominent moderate Democrats--Evan Bayh of Indiana, Bob Graham of Florida and Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut. CapNet has specialized in educating rather than simply financing politicians. "We've had almost a hundred members of Congress out for a visit, including the Congressional Black Caucus," boasts Tim Hugo, CapNet's executive director...
