"Some of the highest marginal tax rates are paid by people with low incomes," says one of Bush's economic advisers. "The Governor wants us to fix that...

Kennedy is not ashamed to use his famous name to boost his climb. Until last week's vigil darkened the family's Hyannis Port compound, he had planned to hold a clambake there in September for $100,000 donors. On the stump, he often invokes his father and the memories of his slain uncles and speaks of his crusade as a thread in the great family tapestry.
