...remembered as having been prepaid, secured far in advance with large deposit checks. Six months before New Hampshire, George W. Bush has raised $36.3 million dollars, nearly twice as much the rest of the sprawling Republican field combined, and there's not much left to go around. Arizona senator John McCain, who at least has the Senate floor to campaign from, is a distant second with $6.1 million. Liddy Dole and Christian activist Gary Bauer each have around $3.4 million; Dan Quayle is closer to $3 million. Pat Buchanan has raised $2.4 million, and Lamar Alexander is scraping by with...
...McCain-Feingold is content to ban soft money ? hard money, after all, is how Iron John got his $6.1 million.

"I just think when you?re out there...
...Rich kid from the Chicago suburbs. Six feet tall, 135 pounds, chip on his shoulder. Played Dungeons and Dragons as a kid and scrawled "Sic Semper Tyrannis" ?- the stale John Wilkes Booth motto ?- in his high school yearbook. Insisted on going by "August" because Benjamin sounded too Jewish, and told the cops once to call him "Erwin Rommel." Distributed racist and anti-Semitic literature at home and at school, had a girlfriend who does not remember him fondly. Scary? Sure. But he could have been on "Seinfeld," too. As a malcontent, Smith was little more than a caricature ?- until...
