...Keyes is running for president. His numbers are low, way low, save his third place finish in the Iowa caucuses. If second place is the first loser, it's hard to know what to call a man who breathes a sigh of relief at coming in number three. His showing in New Hampshire paled in comparison, a more realistic marker of Keyes' stature among Republican candidates. His campaign--run on a shoestring budget, with the fewest dollars of all the major Republican contenders--is mostly about Keyes talking, whether in person (where they'll let him), in the televised debates...
...Political commentators, in their theme-of-the-week, have pronounced that Al Gore has been transformed from his former soporific self to a master of the martial arts, all fiery aggression, while Bradley has declined from the thinking Democrat's alternative to a condescending loser, who, though we do not wish to make too much of it, has that fibrillating heart...

...Gennadi Zyuganov to run for President again next June. This is exactly what the Kremlin wants. Kremlin controllers know that Zyuganov, wooden and thin-skinned, is a weak campaigner, and they will be able to pitch the contest as a race between the old and the new. The big loser in the election, however, is Primakov. Few now remember his announcement on the eve of the election that he would run for President. Primakov's bloc will end up with a respectable number of Duma seats. But it had much greater expectations: it was supposed to be the second largest...
