Clinton stepped forward last week with his own tax-cut plan, one that by most indications could have been lifted straight from the G.O.P.'s 1994 Contract with America. The measure would cut capital-gains taxes, reduce the estate tax, create education savings accounts similar to IRAs and extend a proposed tax credit for children to cover teenagers as well.

The Democrats have long called this district home, but the 21st is far from a liberal stronghold, and McNulty has quietly supported these voters' interests for the past eight years...
