...Gore's campaign shipping water that could sink it later on? Bill Bradley's challenge from the left was always going to force the vice president to tilt the wheel in that direction, but Wednesday night's debate was a reminder that painting Gore as holier than Bradley in the eyes of the left wing of the Democratic party involves taking positions that might haunt him in the presidential race. Gore, who remains the strong favorite despite Bradley's lead in New Hampshire, took a stronger stand than both his rival and the Clinton administration on the issue of gays...
Politicians are paying attention. President Clinton just toughened restrictions on auto emissions, and with the environment expected to be big in the 2000 campaign, Al Gore and Bill Bradley are fighting for backing from eco-groups.

But ride with the Guv in his Lincoln Navigator, and you find that even the chastened Ventura is more candid than 99% of pols. On the Cuban trade embargo he says what self-styled truth tellers like Bill Bradley don't: "It's stupid. Fidel's outlasted eight Presidents. Is it an ego thing? Do we have to wait for him to die?" He's the rare non-Democratic Governor who gives Clinton generous credit for the economy. Try getting George W. Bush to do that...
