...Clinton, Miss., the headquarters of WorldCom rises out of the moonscape of Waffle Houses and Pizza Huts like a dark steel mother ship. It is rather shocking to turn the corner and see it there, lurking behind the freeway as if it had been teleported into this tiny town.

The Tennessee Senator was very recently considered a dark horse, his bid overshadowed by more established contenders like Mitch McConnell and Don Nickles. Late Thursday he officially declared his intention to stand for majority leader, and within hours, numerous Republican leaders, including McConnell, Virginia's John Warner and Oklahoma's James Inhofe, threw their support behind the second-term Senator. The 51 GOP senators will meet January...
