...alone, CapNet and its member companies were host to 44 members of the House and Senate in eight forays. The visitors included House Speaker Dennis Hastert, the nation's most prominent Republican, and three of the Senate's most prominent moderate Democrats--Evan Bayh of Indiana, Bob Graham of Florida and Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut. CapNet has specialized in educating rather than simply financing politicians. "We've had almost a hundred members of Congress out for a visit, including the Congressional Black Caucus," boasts Tim Hugo, CapNet's executive director...
...wake of the Gary Graham execution, which garnered significant international media attention, Bush may be quite pleased to relinquish control over these cases; with the governor on the national campaign trail, the responsibility for passing final review falls to Lieutenant Governor Rick Perry.

Qualifications-wise, that is. He exudes ethics more than charisma, and isn't an oratorical superstar. He's from the Northeast, one of the few regions Gore can be confident of winning. He has no particular constituency, no ideological sweet...
...people campaign officials say are the three finalists: Sens. John Kerry of Massachusetts, Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and John Edwards of North Carolina. Gone from the list of serious candidates are names like former Senate Democratic leader George Mitchell of Maine, who turns 67 this month, and Sen. Bob Graham of Florida, who will be 64 in November. Those political veterans would tend to mute the campaign's claim that the GOP ticket reflects the party's 'old guard' thinking." (Lede story leans toward Kerry...
