...terms are sketchy - the deal was strictly oral, and will simply disappear into thin air if either side rejects it - but whenever you hear the phrases "Palestinian state covering 95 percent of the West Bank" and "Israel to cede sovereignty over the Temple Mount," you know both sides will have plenty to complain about...

With the national polls giving the Vice President a 10-point postconvention bounce and even a slight lead over the Texas Governor, Bush needed to seize the agenda, not cede it to Gore. And though Gore could lose his groove as quickly as he found it, statewide polls indicate his advantage has grown in California and New Jersey. He is running ahead of Bush in Michigan--a crucial battleground state--and, for the first time, in Minnesota, which is normally a state Democrats can count...
