...wealth and economic diversity on campus because they affect us and enter our undergraduate bubbles more often than we would ever like to admit. Last Saturday, for example, was the annual City Step dance. Individual tickets went for $15 a pop and black-tie was the presumed dress code. Even after dancers had already shelled out that much cash, however, questions regarding money were not put to rest; while some couples could afford to dine in swanky downtown restaurants, others ate their meals in the dining hall, and whereas some people splurged on taxis, other students had no choice...
...senior Republicans argued privately for Bush to do just that, to pick up John McCain's more austere economic approach instead, emphasize debt reduction and iron out the wrinkles in the tax plan.

The downside: one less excuse for being late to work...
...Clintonian aspects of the governor's version of full disclosure - have officially been left to their reveries and their couches by the media and the two candidates. (Arguably, Bush's "uniter, not divider" stuff is independent-aimed, but for the crowds he's working, it's just anti-Clinton code.) The national election is apparently in the hands of Florida seniors, Michigan auto workers and African-Americans, and to what degree Al Gore can get them all to turn out for him on Tuesday...
