...that soccer mom who's had it up to here with Hillary couldn't have put it better! But the ink on the letter was barely dry before Lazio was trying to put a smiley face above the i in his signature. "Frankly," Lazio said, always a tip-off that a politician is about to fog up your glasses, "these letters are written, you know, not by me." Riding on his newly christened Mainstream Express, he went on to explain, "It's not what you send some donor list that matters. What matters is how you are conducting yourself...

Putting together a political convention can be as tense as planning a wedding. Where to put those unpopular family members? Should the nominee's dad give a toast? What about his mom? Questions like these vex Republicans whose job it is to keep Americans from clicking past the G.O.P. convention for reruns of Felicity. Complicating matters, the kids want their ceremony in Philadelphia to be "nontraditional." The theme that GEORGE W. BUSH is a New Kind of Republican means nixing time-honored rites. No paeans to Senate majority leader Trent Lott or House Speaker Denny Hastert. They'll get honorary...
