...whirlwind stump schedule was born. Senate races in New Hampshire, Georgia, South Dakota and Minnesota were shaping up to be nail-biters, and so Bush was dispatched to fundraisers, get-out-the-vote events and rallies, touting the experience and political wisdom of John Sununu, Saxby Chambliss and Norm Coleman.

That hesitancy seems to have dissipated; Norm Coleman, the former St. Paul mayor, and Walter Mondale, the former Carter V.P. and presidential candidate met for a debate Monday, just hours before voters head to the polls.
