...Atwater over the years. Atwater's spirit was hovering over the meeting when Bush's advisers decided it was time to "drive up McCain's negatives."

And if the government fails to act, mouse advocates vow legal action to force listing. At issue as much as the rodent are the shrub-lined meadows and grassy marshes that abut the streams and creeks lacing the 170 miles from Cheyenne, Wyo., to Colorado Springs.
