This is not to say President Bush is now sailing toward victory. In a TIME poll of likely voters last week, Bush pulled in 46% vs. Kerry's 44% in a three-way race with Ralph Nader (5%). The poll showed a shift from early August, when Kerry had a 5-point lead, though in both cases the difference was within the margin of error. Bush may be showing movement, but more registered voters still say it's time for someone else to be President (49%) than believe Bush deserves to be re-elected (46%)--numbers sure to give G.O.P...
...first impressions matter, Kerry won't get this clear a shot again. While nearly 70% of voters say they know a great deal about Bush, only 29% say the same about the Senator. But many more have their doubts: though Kerry leads Bush 46% to 43% in a three-way matchup with Ralph Nader, who gets 5%, voters say they trust Bush more to handle terrorism and the war in Iraq and "to provide strong leadership in difficult times...
...Bush's base is reinforced concrete, Kerry's still looks shaky in places. Kerry leads Bush among Hispanic voters but has not secured the 2-to-1 ratio Democrats have achieved in the past. In a more worrisome sign, Kerry is winning only 75% of African Americans in a three-way contest, a good dozen points short of what he needs...

The son of a GE factory worker, Nardelli, 56, had spent close to 30 years at that company trying to prove himself as CEO material. In November 2000 he lost a two-year, three-way contest to succeed Jack Welch. "To say I wasn't disappointed would be lying," Nardelli says. "You don't train to come in second." Nardelli bounced back to become CEO of Home Depot, a company half the size of GE, a month later. This time his GE management style...
...Sadr is playing a three-way game, using his confrontation with the Americans to challenge his political rivals in the Shiite community. Even as negotiations continue, his forces are clashing with U.S. troops at Karbala, Kufa and Baghdad. The U.S. objective may be to weaken the Mehdi militia and raise the pressure on Moqtada, but the firebrand cleric appears to be using that pressure to his own ends - particularly to challenge his more moderate rivals, chief among them Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani. Sadr has long rejected what he sees as Sistani's quiescence toward the occupation, and he cleverly judged...
