When he first won a seat as a Congressman from Mississippi at 31, Lott was more ideologue than pragmatist, joining up with Newt Gingrich and Jack Kemp to push an agenda of deregulation and tax cuts. But as he rose through the leadership ranks, first in the House and then in the Senate, Lott mellowed, earning a reputation as a tough negotiator willing to make sacrifices in order to get things done. When he became majority leader in 1996, Lott reached out to moderate Democrats and the White House, efforts that led to the smooth passage of welfare reform...
Senior Patricia Kemp (1 g, 4 a) is the leader of a veteran defensive unit that includes sophomore Brooke Bestwick (2 g, 9 a) and junior Eva Nahorniak (2 g, 5 a). Behind the blueliners, sophomores Liz Connelly, Sanya Sandahl and transfer Kristin Perry will platoon at goaltender...

It could have been the opening pledge, Lieberman's let's-be-nice-tonight version of the Al Gore and Jack Kemp football-for-chlorofluorocarbons gambit, but if it was it a gambit, it paid off for everybody involved. Yes, Cheney's performance was a bit of a revelation, mostly because it really didn't look like a performance (Lieberman, fonder of the Gore catch phrases but so much gentler than Gore when he spits them out, was merely as affable as expected...
...Gore is the biggest fight of his life, and dutifully fighting the expectations game in public while he privately prepares for three rounds with George W. Bush that are likely to decide the presidential election. Bush does not have Gore's grasp of the issues, but he has Kemp's charm and some big ideas, and he's also shown an aptitude (see Ann Richards) for the kind of laser-focused performance that can win on television. Gore undoubtedly has a line of attack all picked out, and it will attempt, as usual, to bring out his opponents' unattractive side...
