"Kerry had it in him," the Sex and the City star and outspoken Democrat says, but like Meredith, "he just couldn't get it across the footlights to the people." Instead of red staters, Parker's rigid, pencil-skirt-and-pumps-clad city type is attempting to win over the Stones, her fiancé DERMOT MULRONEY's large "nubby, woolly, pajamas-all-day, college-town" family--played by, among others, CRAIG T.

The Governor has tried to handle the race issue carefully, realizing that some blacks support Lucas out of a sense of racial pride. "I can understand that feeling," says Blanchard...

He added, "I don't know how we can run a responsible operation down there when every Tom, Dick and Harry is trying to do their own part." Vermont Democrat Patrick Leahy, vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said U.S. officials were looking the other way when arms deals skirted the edge of the law.
