...Donkey vs. Elephant. That trend was reinforced on Monday with a new plan by the nation's largest association of business owners to step up its support of business-friendly congressional candidates. Portraying itself as the striving entrepreneur being bullied by both big labor and big government, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce unleashed its first-ever plan to donate directly to federal-level political campaigns; about $100,000 will be donated to each of 47 mostly Republican congressional candidates.

...three-horse race, but there are more than three possible outcomes. Habibie?s Golkar party could always select a new candidate at the eleventh hour, and General Wiranto remarked cryptically on Monday that he would be prepared to enter politics if "the people" wanted him. For those outside the chamber, Wednesday may seem a little like waiting in St. Peter?s Square for that puff of smoke. Except that unlike the Catholic faithful, those outside Indonesia?s assembly may well reject the outcome...
