...Hillary had a lot of support from three groups," the adviser said. "The first - middle aged, non-college woman - should be Democrats, but they stayed home instead of turning out for Al Gore and John Kerry. They are all about the economy. Those women are not social conservatives, nor are they pro-gun. They are definitely security conscious, and so they may have an issue with someone who has two years experience being a heartbeat away from a 72 year old man. That's asking a lot. That...
...late appearance in the Veepstakes, Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. Sources close to the campaign and the candidate say that if McCain could make his decision based solely on what he wants, he'd go with Lieberman, the Democratic-turned-independent Senator from Connecticut who served as Al Gore's running mate in 2000. Picking Lieberman, however, would be a huge gamble for McCain.

...many events do you think I should be working?" Obama says with a laugh when I ask him about the lackadaisical pace.

(To paraphrase what was said about both Al Gore and Hillary Clinton when they launched their presidential campaigns, Obama is famous without being well known.) Under a spotlight more intense than anything he has experienced in his remarkable four-year rise from the Illinois state senate to White House contender, Obama must contextualize himself for the many voters who are just tuning in - to tell them...
...their districts at the convention. "One of the things is having been on the Obama staff during the primaries doing politics he knows who needs what, who needs to be stroked more, who needs little extra care there," says Jamal Simmons, a strategist who managed regional press for Al Gore in 2000 and met Nugen at that year's convention. "He knows that all delegates are equal but some delegates are more equal than others...
