...Giuliani appears to have netted more than laughs, though: Republican donors are scrambling to throw money at the First Lady?s likely opponent. Having raised $90,000 on Tuesday in Little Rock and New Orleans, Mayor Giuliani will have netted an estimated $200,000 after a swing through Alabama Wednesday. But the mayor?s aides may have taken the theatrics a little far for some New Yorkers.

Even Bob Dole talked about building a missile-defense shield over the Pacific to protect Taiwan from Chinese aggression...
...stayed clear of dramatic policy shifts on Taiwan, and last week he issued a statement reiterating his adherence to the U.S.'s one-China formula. "This isn't the kind of policy you can change on the stump," says an aide. That advice was evidently making the rounds. Republican John McCain and Democrats Al Gore and Bill Bradley remained committed to a Beijing-focused policy...
