Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Howard Dean have done their part by stumping across the state with him in recent weeks, stoking partisan passions. "There's a tsunami headed West from the Atlantic Seaboard that's going to knock over Republican candidates," says Bob Mulholland, campaign advisor for the state Democratic party.

Though the soldiers went home in the 1970s, Pattaya remained a preserve of anything-goes hedonism?and an object of either love or loathing, depending on whom you asked.
