While this much of the game plan seems smart, it ignores a painfully obvious fact: the Republicans have been in power for 12 years; the fire this time has occurred on their watch. "This time," says Republican strategist Kevin Phillips, "the pitiful lack of an urban strategy is Bush's fault, and most voters are smart enough to know that that's at least a part of the problem. Nixon talked tough, but he expanded food stamps, supported a guaranteed annual income and generally gave the impression that he cared. Bush simply isn't credible on these issues...
...Baker knew what he was doing. The man who laid down his terms to Congress last week is the same dogged tactician who forged the framework for the Arab-Israeli peace process last year during eight painstaking shuttles around the Middle East. As a seasoned political strategist, a former campaign adviser for Reagan and manager for Bush, he seems to have calculated that antipathy to foreign aid is a more powerful election-year force than the usual voter support for Israel.

...considering the timing rather than the substance of negative charges, Clinton revealed his essence. Beyond being both the candidate and his campaign's top policy analyst, Clinton is also chief strategist and tactician, the nuts-and-bolts mastermind of his own race for the presidency, an office he has been preparing to occupy for "at least 10 years," largely by learning from the losses of Democratic wannabes. So while luck has played a role -- Clinton's competitors have yet to catch on, heavy hitters like Jesse Jackson and Mario Cuomo chose not to run, and the end of the cold...
