...from grade schoolers. Yes, this basic competence was combined with a certain amount of ruthlessness, but ruthlessness is not what the Democrats lacked. While willing to "fight with their fists," the Kerry campaign comes across as confused at both a macro and micro level. Given little direction, the volunteers marvel at their colleague who has found an actual "undecided voter." As the volunteer later explains, the prospect is more than just undecided - he's unhinged from reality. "I gave him all the information, the whole talk, at which point he said, ?I'm probably too high to remember...
...Republican strategists, for the most part, marvel at their own good fortune. Bush-Cheney ad man Mark McKinnon admits the campaign was more scared of Howard Dean than John Kerry.

But the secret to Sergio Torres' fish lies less with the young other stories...
...Malvar was among 500 to apply for 35 spots at the Bellevue, Wash., software giant. "Here I am, I'm 16 and working with 46-year-olds on the same projects," he'd marvel. Tasked with finding bugs in a flight simulator, he didn't know which was harder to learn: the programming language or the language of work. "I had to speak and write in a way that adults would understand, or the project would be at risk," he says. "They dress in shorts there, but it's still a very serious business...
