...actually resembles him. Both men make the most of their hard-earned titles: the doctor and the general are conspicuously not Senators; they barely admit to being politicians at all. Their innocence of national elective experience is a virtue. Their tough temperaments and raw styles are suited to a Democratic base alienated by dignified leaders in Washington who got rolled by the Bush revolution. Neither has any embarrassing votes to explain--for a war, a tax cut, a budget. Both have sucked in unprecedented amounts of cash, Dean in little squirts from his many online allies, Clark from the deep...

Eleven out of 20 Radcliffe players, though they see the election as important, still feel that a Democrat in the White House won’t bring about change of the order that this country desperately needs. One scrum-half wrote that she will be “100 percent satisfied if we can just get Bush out of the White House,” but this...
...question that asked which party’s candidate poll participants would vote for in their Congressional district, the majority of Harvard students—77 percent—identified themselves as voting Democrat...
