...Bush has all-but-promised to tip his hat to bipartisanship; and thus must find at least one Democrat before he fills the rest - Transportation, Labor, Education, Interior, Veterans and Energy, UN Representative and the Office of the US Trade Representative.

...This year's 35-day affair didn't so much elect a president as pick one out of a hat. A cleanly split Florida populace faced up to a systemic margin of error that exceeded its margin of preference. That resulted in a statistical tie, finally resolved by the armies of political henchmen - pols, pundits, judges and lawyers - who traditionally are required to stand down for this one day of the year.

Moreover, Israelis rate him as the best man for the job of making peace with the Palestinians. But polls, as Peres himself once noted, are like perfume - they should be smelled, but not swallowed.
