...America's heartland. The exercise was called Dark Winter. The scenario: Oklahoma, Georgia and Pennsylvania have been deliberately targeted with smallpox virus. The mission: to marshal the full resources of the Federal Government and limit the damage. But even though the players included seasoned leaders--former Senator Sam Nunn acting as the President, former presidential adviser David Gergen as National Security Adviser, Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating playing himself--the situation got quickly out of hand.

...shopping for Democrats, even retired ones like Sam Nunn, to drive that message home to Americans, Bush has a fine line to walk to avoid irking Republicans who have waited the longest eight years of their lives to be running Washington again.
