...Gore '69 has been strangely silent on this topic. Not that he bears the sole blame; he has had only one challenger and that challenger is losing ground fast. Gore has no desire to expend valuable political energy on this issue. After all, the environment is a hot-button topic that polarizes party radicals on both sides of the fence...
...world, and it's pretty much guaranteed that they'll be separated by no more than three degrees from Osama Bin Laden. But rather than proving that the Saudi superterrorist is a global mastermind able to wreak havoc anywhere in the world at the click of a Send button, this ubiquity says more about the diffuse nature of his operations.

It based its argument, in part...
...Buckley decision that paved the way for the soft money contributions that are the scourge of today's finance reformers. Still, allowing states to impose spending caps will have far-reaching consequences; currently about two thirds of all states have such limits for state races. So that particular button should stay hot for some time to come...
