...boasts that he doesn't owe anybody any favors. "Nobody has any hooks in me," Robertson says. This is a grassroots campaign. He has raised more money than any of the Democrats and nearly as much as George Bush. But the money hasn't come from Washington insiders, Wall Street bankers or Political Action Comittees.

...fractures in the G.O.P. coalition that surfaced in Iowa could deepen if the three-way battle drags out and grows bitter. For months the Bush campaign counted on its broad support and organization in the Southern states as a "fire wall" against any damage suffered in the early contests. But if Dole and Robertson continue to scorch him, Bush may not reach his fire wall intact -- and the others must hope that the spreading conflagration does not destroy the party's chances of keeping the White House...
