...liberals is the proposal's potential to shore up the veep's grip on the middle, which he could eventually wrangle over with George W. Bush. The Democratic primary debates promise to pit Bradley's $90 billion health care proposal against Gore's preschool plan. "Preschool is a fuzzier, more embraceable issue than health care for the poor," notes Dickerson.

In case you haven't noticed, civil rights legislation hasn't ended racial hatred and inequality in our country.
