...Brandon, a microcosm of the mostly white middle-class suburbs along I-4. Brandon, with roughly 120,000 people and a mall instead of a downtown, is America. It's a sprawling, unincorporated, amorphous mess, as devoid of soul as the candidates themselves. With two Waffle Houses within a mile of each other and tract houses sprouting like mushrooms, the place is still growing daily, and the politics of growth is always more conservative than the politics of decline...

By the time the runners hit the three mile point, Baker had pulled ahead of Stockard and held a two second lead over four runners.

...hasn't worked. After all that profligate expenditure of self, he remains locked in a too-close-to-call race against a nice enough fellow from Texas and Yale whose mind, even in the midst of a presidential debate, seems to behave like a marathon runner at the 24-mile mark--struggling, panting for coherence...
