...President will need to peel off an equal number of Democrats to ensure passage of his program. Last week, after delivering his big budget address to Congress, he swept into Arkansas and Georgia, where Democrats Blanche Lincoln and Max Cleland felt the love. This week Bush will swing through Louisiana and North Dakota, two more states he won handily--and where Democratic Senators hang on to their jobs by hewing to local opinion. Even Tom Daschle, the Senate minority leader, whose job is to rally the opposition, won't be spared. Bush plans to visit Daschle's G.O.P.-leaning home...

He saluted the ailing Democratic congressman Joe Moakley. He quoted JFK and threw a bouquet to self-styled deal maker, Louisiana senator John Breaux. By comparison, poor Dick Gephardt and Tom Daschle seemed niggling and churlish in their Democratic response. Although you have to feel sorry for them: the faux library of a House office is no match for the live action drama from the chamber floor. It was all there: the dramedy of Sen. Hillary Rodham...
