...yammering classes keep comparing this situation to 1960, and keep citing Richard Nixon's supposedly selfless decision not to challenge John Kennedy's almost invisible and highly dubious margin of victory in Cook County, Illinois.

...there any grounds for turning the nation's news organizations over to so many pipsqueak Al Rokers? There is a widespread, but according to at least some experts dubious, belief that bad weather benefits Republicans (who will have Jeeves fire up the SUV and drive to the polls in heated comfort) and hurts Democrats (who are so hindered already by The Man's oppression that a sizable shower makes exercising the franchise out of the question...

By contrast, Bush's home state of Texas has the dubious distinction of having one of the worst environmental records in the nation. Gore has vowed to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from oil exploration and is committed to saving the everglades. Bush, by contrast, has presented unconvincing proposals that would give private industries limited incentives to clean up their...
