...Bush remained divided by a margin of less than 200,000 ballots. Across the country, disillusioned Democrats, liberals, environmentalists and trade union members stuck to their guns and voted for Nader, ignoring entreaties from former compatriots scared out of the Nader camp by the specter of a Bush presidency. Gloria Steinem and Melissa Etheridge, once Nader supporters, reversed course in the last weeks before the election, and campaigned mightily for Gore. And while their efforts, as well as those of splinter groups like Nader's Raiders for Gore, may have kept Nader from the magic 5 percent mark, many Green...
...this has left the Gore campaign wondering how to lure Nader voters. Its answer has been to have surrogates like Gloria Steinem and Jesse Jackson argue that a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush. "I make the case wherever I can that I need a partner at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue," says Representative Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat who represents Madison, Wis.

While she sang some breathtakingly beautiful slower songs-such as the dignified "Domine Deus" from Gloria, the serious "Non ti Lusinghi la Crudeltade," Lucio's aria from Tito Manilo, and the sublime aria of Irene, "Sposa son Disprezzata," from Bajaset-it was in the dark, angry arias of fierce battles and even fiercer love that her full vocal range was given the most expression...
...campaign web site, there's a button labeled "youth zone." Great! Outreach for new voters and college students, right? Not exactly. In fact, the "Youth Zone" is a charming and utterly irrelevant collection of stories for kindergartners: About the Bushes' cat, Ernie, about a brave policeman and his dog Gloria (read by Laura Bush) - and about why running for president is a lot like playing baseball (courtesy of the governor himself...
