...Crowd-Pleasers have the unique ability to score positive numbers in the polls without actually declaring either candidacy or policies ?- rather like George W. Bush in the early part of 1999.

...message that will deliver the electoral mother lode. Throw a stick in New Hampshire in February and you?ll hit at least five would-be Healers. Ross Perot is a failed Healer. As Bill Clinton proved, the true art of playing the Healer is convincing voters that you feel their pain...

The President's Council of Economic Advisers recently quantified what plenty of folks have observed anecdotally. The rise in two-earner families, as well as single-parent families, results in parents' spending on average 22 fewer hours with their children each week than they did in 1969. That's almost a full day per week of lost parental attention. Fathers are actually spending slightly more time with their children--about two extra hours a week--than they did 30 years...
