...Democrats opposed the war, that someone could be Dean--a candidate, even his own strategists admit, who wouldn't have a prayer of winning a Southern primary in a smaller field. "In a nine-person field, Dean is in the driver's seat," says Donna Brazile, who managed Al Gore's 2000 campaign. Still, no one seems inclined to drop out, because each sees himself as the candidate who could ultimately beat George Bush. This, of course, is why they all got into the race in the first place.

...Democratic campaigns can boast matching funds from megarich financier George Soros, feisty speeches by Al Gore and a make-your-own-campaign-commercial contest conceived by pop star Moby.

...before the 2000 presidential election, George W. Bush launched a final attack on Al Gore. "I'm worried about an opponent who uses nation building and the military in the same sentence," he said. This was, you may recall, a signature Bush theme. Nation building was for wussy foreign-policy sociologists; the military's job was to "fight and win" wars. How ironic that the good news from Iraq the Bush Administration has been touting is almost entirely due to the excellent nation-building efforts of the U.S. military...
