...delegates are up for grabs a week after the New Hampshire primary. For a time, the Dole camp was pleased that Forbes was crowding out the rest of the field. No more. Forbes' media blitz, which blasts Dole as a tax-loving Washington dealmaker, has prompted a fierce counterattack that only confirms Forbes' new status. Beware of Forbes' "risky ideas," says a new Dole spot running in Iowa. "Great," says Forbes' campaign manager, Bill Dal Col. "Dole's setting up a one-on-one race...

Having seen the talking-to-death that brought down Clinton's health-care reform, Gingrich adroitly withheld his plan until the last minute, then provided only a few days for Democrats to counterattack. When House Republicans wouldn't budge on their insistence that there would be just one day of hearings on the Medicare proposal, Democratic frustrations hit the boiling point.
