...chair of Gary Hart's 1984 and 1988 presidential campaigns, Schroeder did not contemplate running until after her fellow Coloradan dropped out last May. She took a long look at the remaining contenders and figured, "Why not?" Says Schroeder: "I've been in national politics longer than anyone else except Biden. I have as many legislative achievements. I've been to every hot spot on the globe." She insists she will not enter the field unless she can raise $2 million and pull together a "realistic, serious" campaign by fall.

...North is in that class. If he were to sustain a paper cut, presses would stop.

Finally the scurrilous gossip broke into print two weeks ago. Bush lieutenants accused the aides of Senate Minority Leader (and rival Republican White House hopeful) Bob Dole of spreading the rumors; Dole's people in turn charged Bush's staffers with sowing stories...
...trade in the debate, with Gephardt defending his get-tough amendment ("It's not protectionism, it's promotionism") and Dukakis staking out the internationalist position ("I'm somebody who believes that more trade is better than less trade"). Gephardt, who has been searching for a debating foil since Gary Hart left the race, took a far more aggressive tack with reporters, accusing Dukakis of following a "blame America first" line...
