...last week that Republicans weren't only looking for answers, they were looking for scapegoats. Top party officials wonder privately whether Scott Reed can rally his team during halftime; but the same officials acknowledge that Reed alone enjoys Dole's trust and that not even Reed can change Dole's ways...
...generation for whom, Noll says, "ideological combat has become de rigueur." The movement's energy, once generated by the fervor of Christian witness, appears now to flow more from the red-hot political engagement of such Christian Right warriors as broadcast executive Pat Robertson; Christian Coalition head Ralph Reed, his protege; and the less renowned but perhaps more influential James Dobson, head of Focus on the Family.

...player on the Administration's "rapid-response" team. He's also one of six top aides profiled in Birnbaum's book Madhouse: The Private Turmoil of Working for the President, published this week by Times Books.

Top aides to budget-committee chairmen John Kasich and Pete Domenici argued for a deal, a position believed...
...have mishandled some of the approaches. Former Bush operative Mary Matalin, the wife of Democratic consultant James Carville, had no sooner quit her job on CNBC and joined the Dole campaign than internal feuding over her role spilled into the open. And so after several days of needless distraction, Reed asked her to step down. Last week a longtime G.O.P. operative put out a feeler to author Peggy Noonan, who wrote Bush's climactic convention speech, to see if she would assist on some convention-related "planning." But the move was so gentle that Noonan didn't take it seriously...
