...McBride victory might be a bigger headache for the President's brother than the voting snafus. "If McBride could catch Reno," frets one prominent Florida G.O.P. donor, "he can catch Bush." In a state where almost a quarter of the eligible voters are fence-sitting independents, centrist McBride spooks the Bush campaign far more than liberal Reno. If the 57-year-old decorated Vietnam veteran and fiscal conservative could indeed upset Bush--and the odds are still long, with polls showing a 51%-to-37% Bush lead--it would be triple revenge for Democrats: payback for the disputed 2000 presidential...

Though the move suits his party, the hawkish Likud, it is unpopular with his coalition partners from the centrist Labor Party. The day after Sharon's decision, Defense Minister Ben-Eliezer, a Labor member, told aides, "I haven't agreed to reconquer any land." Ben-Eliezer's aides say the Israeli troops will probably stay inside the Palestinian towns only a few weeks. Labor doesn't want to see Israel rebuild the system of military government it dismantled when it handed over...
