...lower- and middle-income tax break, then slammed Republicans as "trickle-down terrorists." Gephardt denied he was trying to upstage Clinton, but said "there will be and probably can be times when we are not going to agree and House Democrats are going to have our own proposals." Implicit in the remarks: Clinton shoulders much of the blame for Democrats' failure to "speak to the growing sense of insecurity" among workers whose wages are stagnant or shrinking.

When Gingrich rallied more than 300 G.O.P. candidates in Washington in late September to unveil a position paper called "Contract with America," the supposedly revolutionary document contained mostly warmed-over Reaganomics. The risk of Gingrich in near control is that he will remain in his bomb- throwing role and never...
