That's the kind of candygram that Bush is delivering to more than a dozen vulnerable Senators--men and women who will make the difference in the coming battle over Bush's tax cuts. A small handful of Republicans could defect and the President will need to peel off an equal number of Democrats to ensure passage of his program. Last week, after delivering his big budget address to Congress, he swept into Arkansas and Georgia, where Democrats Blanche Lincoln and Max Cleland felt the love. This week Bush will swing through Louisiana and North Dakota, two more states...

...court, while not deciding the issues presented, believe that the petitioner has a substantial probability of success." That would be George W. Bush. For Gore to prevail, one of two swing votes among the nine Justices--either Anthony Kennedy or Sandra Day O'Connor--would have to peel from the majority that granted the stay, deciding that the Florida Supreme Court had not changed the rules after the election or otherwise violated the Constitution, which confers power over elections to the legislatures.
