...require immediate attention from the campaign glow an intense blue. The computer factors in poll numbers, historic Democratic performance, dates of and voter response to previous visits by the candidate, his running mate, family members or other surrogates. It highlights places that may respond to a sudden infusion of ad money or to "free media" generated by a campaign visit. When Gore's top advisers confer each morning about where to spend their ad dollars, where to dispatch the candidate and which ground operations need bolstering, the map - along with twice weekly polls and focus groups in battleground states...
...points - and worse, that Democrats were defecting in droves. The surge came as a shock even to Bush aides, who made a last-minute decision to dispatch Bush to West Virginia on the day before the first debate. Hoping to reverse the trend, Gore responded last week with an ad blasting Bush on the minimum wage, and the unions are kicking into gear on the ground: the United Mine Workers are considering an Election Eve blizzard of 10,000 phone calls...

As the sequence of 16 songs progresses, some of the stronger tunes, such as the catchy "So Eureka," end up being overlooked...
...Yahoo. After the end-of-session bell, the tech bellwether is expected by some to disappoint with its earnings report, thanks to a slowdown in the dot-com advertising sector. (Less new dot-coms these days, which means less new dot-com ad men bidding for space on prime-time portal Yahoo.) If Yahoo - which is unveiling some new voice-based services (read: potential revenue streams) Tuesday afternoon, possibly as a means of softening the blow for the earnings news - can please the Street, good vibrations for the dot-commerce sector could follow. If Yahoo disappoints, it's one more...
