...long, with polls showing a 51%-to-37% Bush lead--it would be triple revenge for Democrats: payback for the disputed 2000 presidential outcome, a significant midterm body blow to the White House and, most important, a Jeb-less Florida in 2004. As a result, both national parties may pour record millions into the state during the next seven weeks...

They brought plastic cuffs for Reid's hands, a seat-belt extension to tie up his feet. Passengers passed belts, headphone cords, anything they could find.
