...Gerald B.H. Solomon, the now-retired New York Republican representative who authored the amendment that now bears his name, disagrees...
...Republican, Giuliani also runs extremely well with many Democratic-leaning swing voters. His brutally efficient success in reducing crime, paring welfare rolls, fighting smut and ending vagrancy has endeared him to middle-class white ethnics outside Manhattan; his pro-choice, pro-immigrant, opera-friendly moderation on social issues makes him palatable to soccer moms.

Other Republican hopefuls crisscross the country and strain eager smiles for potential donors, but the Texas governor has let the party come to him. Last week a muscular troika of rainmakers that included investment banker Henry Kravis, oilman John Moran and fund manager Lewis Eisenberg made the pilgrimage. Rival camps are terrified that Bush will...
