...hoping that Clinton will be pulled off the Morris program by serious liberals like Ickes and Stephanopoulos. Clinton pollster Mark Penn and media consultant Bill Knapp, who have already shouldered a great deal of the campaign's strategy and message work, will take on even more. Veteran consultant Bob Squier, a key Gore ally, will remain on board. But no matter how well they identify the political center, few expect them to have the same power as Morris to keep Clinton...

The Morris touch lay in Clinton's conciliatory tone toward Republicans, his embrace of moderate Democrats and his willingness to alienate liberals. "This could be a turning point for us," Clinton told his TV audience, suggesting that bipartisanship could lead...
