...frame pumped with manic energy--Morris urged Clinton to propose a capital-gains cut on Aug. 1, a few days before Dole was to release his plan.

...listened until it was too late; Dukakis thought the ads about furloughed killer Willie Horton did not need to be answered simply because they were stupid and wrong, ignoring the fact that they were devastating. By the time he ran in 1992, Clinton had learned that brazen replies were key to political success. The War Room operation in Little Rock, set up after the Democratic Convention at Hillary Clinton's behest, was mostly a quick-response center, directed by strategists James Carville and George Stephanopoulos, who currently heads the same effort in the Clinton White House...
