John Kerry and Republican Governor William Weld provided the best and the brightest political campaign in the country this year. Kerry, whose intelligence and commitment have kept him from being totally overshadowed by the state's senior Senator, Edward M. Kennedy, engaged in eight debates with Weld, the likable fellow who steered Massachusetts to economic recovery. Weld may have gone down to defeat because voters wanted to keep the best of both worlds. As former Massachusetts Senator Paul Tsongas said, "There is a sense here that Weld has done a great deal for this state, and I share that view...
...Dole who got rejected this week, or was it some fundamental dimension of the G.O.P. message? And if it was the message, which part? Did Dole move too far to the center or not far enough?

"The system worked fine, except when Newt would have a breakdown in discipline," Armey told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram last month. As far as Armey is concerned, the mistake the G.O.P. made with its conservative agenda was in not pushing it further and faster...
...advisers. "Dole's no dummy." Buckley complicated his postcampaign life as well. Through an intermediary, he urged Dole to especially go after the New York Times during his bash-the-liberal-media phase. Sources say Buckley was peeved at Times coverage and sought revenge. But he wants his role kept secret, since he is worried that the paper will pay him back with bad reviews for the novels he writes...
