...Gore have sparred over which of them will better serve America's seniors in their most desperate hours. In fact, this is the issue on which Gore's been willing to go furthest to the left (he even accused Bill Bradley of giving the issue short shrift). The veep recently signed on to President Clinton's plan to devote nearly $200 billion to extending Medicare coverage to prescription drugs, and seemed to turn a blind eye to Wall Street by saying that the drug companies drastically overcharge consumers - a hint at the sort of market intervention the center-hugging Gore...
...federal budget to the point that any combination of his proposed initiatives would be impossible to fund. Bush's credibility attacks against Gore, meanwhile, focus on character, suggesting that Gore doesn't have the moral fiber to see his centrist agenda through. Bush likes to focus on the veep's campaign finance record, particularly the Buddhist temple fund-raiser, as a way of putting Gore's overall credibility in doubt.

And that may be both comforting and not for the veep and First Lady. Comforting because it's just another problem of the same ilk as several they've faced - and survived - before; not so comforting because there's always the chance that this particular allegation may finally tip the scales of public opinion fully against those associated with the Clinton regime...
...Post interview, in which Bush said Gore has a "major credibility problem," shows that the Texas governor is wasting no time squeezing the veep's most glaring pressure point - Clinton fatigue. And while Bush opposes most forms of campaign finance reform, he's also quickly trying to carry the McCain reformist mantle by relentlessly lashing out against Gore's alleged and acknowledged fund-raising improprieties. While Gore isn't tipping his hand on the salvos he's got in store for Bush, it's only a question of time until this runoff reaches its full promise as a spectacle that...
