...large part to Rove. On Saturday, when Bush handily won the straw poll, the victory was a validation of a risky campaign plan Rove devised late last year, after Bush won re-election in Texas. The "yellow rose garden" strategy kept Bush in Austin, and off the campaign trail, until mid-June--leaving him just two months to organize for an event in which other candidates had invested years...
Lamar Alexander was too much like George W. to be a real alternative. And so, after trudging an uphill campaign trail practically nonstop for six years, the former Tennessee governor bowed his head Monday and dropped out of the GOP 2000 presidential campaign. "My heart wants to keep going, but there is no realistic way to do it," Alexander said in a prepared statement to supporters gathered at the state capitol in Nashville. During the 1996 primaries, Bill Clinton had called Alexander the opponent he most feared. Four years later, after pouring the last of his meager campaign funds into...
With almost every imaginable law enforcement agency -? including the Postal Inspection Service ?- on his trail, Buford O. Furrow Jr. slipped the massive L.A. dragnet ... in a taxicab.

Doesn't he have anything better to do with his money...
Patrick, 32 and single, doesn't really look the part of a Kennedy on the trail. Other Kennedys have the Mount Rushmore jaw and viscous hair, but Patrick's puffy, soft features aren't primed for statuemaking. Growing up in Virginia denied him the trademark Massachusetts accent, and asthma in childhood kept him from the scrimmage line in those famous tests of the family vigor. He likes to joke that when he shows up for an event billed with the family name, he introduces himself and people ask, "Where's the Kennedy?" But the third youngest member of Congress...
