...politics. Gore's lieutenants love to point out Bradley's contradictions: he spent $2 million on his polling operation in his 1990 Senate race--an early attempt at Clinton-style values polling--yet claims to hate poll-driven politics. He calls himself a crusader against corporate tax loopholes, yet came out in support of ethanol subsidies that chiefly benefit one conglomerate, Archer Daniels Midland, because he wants to curry favor with Iowa farmers. "What's fatal," says a Gore strategist, "is holding yourself up as superior...
...Bradley's positions.

I thought he was more of a team player than that, frankly, to use a sports analogy...
...polls over the next few months to choose the two men who will represent the Democratic and Republican parties in the November presidential election. Presidential primaries are an entrenched political institution in America--only a few states still hold party caucuses--but their origins are relatively young. State primaries came into wide usage in this century, and "Super Tuesday," the single day in March in which party nominations are lost and won, is a phenomenon of the last 12 years...
