...months Gore wouldn't come within 100 miles of Bradley; now that Bradley leads in New Hampshire and has more money in the bank than Gore, the Vice President wants weekly debates to "elevate our democracy." Even Gore's advisers admit the ploy. "Sure it's tactical," says one, "but it's also good for the country." The danger for Bradley is that his countertactics look no nobler than Gore's tactics. If Bradley really wants to improve the process, why not just say yes to Gore? Certainly Gore watchers would enjoy seeing a less rehearsed Vice President...

They measure the rewards in bits. Just as the lunch bell rang yesterday, longtime physics teacher Phillip Wojak rushed into the lounge, almost too excited to speak. A former student had published...
...ascending McCain, whom New Hampshire-ites often compare with Democratic challenger Bill Bradley, can't yet match his party's front runner in the organization and money needed to go the distance. In the coming weeks, say campaign aides, McCain will announce organizations in Western states that they think will show he has the longevity to take his run beyond its strongholds of New Hampshire and South Carolina.
