All that suggests a deeper problem in the campaign: Kerryland appears to be arranged not for speed but for consultation. The Kerry campaign at times resembles a floating five-ring circus of longtime Democratic operatives who have all sorts of views, allegiances and ambitions.

Beach volleyball was born on the sun-drenched shores of California, in communities where the beach is not just a place but an attitude and a way of life. So you won?t find any of the top players complaining about all the hoopla. In fact, they relish the energy from a crowd that is moving and shaking. ?This is what is special about our sport,? says...
