...Bush did a smart thing earlier this week in nixing the cheap-shot ad of Gore defending Clinton's veracity - the featured clip was from the pre-Monica days, and concerned Ollie North - and what the New York Times gleefully called a "split over strategy" could just have been a candidate reining in his bulldogs. Either way, it's in keeping with the above-the-fray image that Bush has cultivated with some success in this campaign. He might want to start applying that good sense to his tax-cut sales plan...

"I have a confession to make," he joked. "This was a cheap ploy to get you all here. I could use a directing gig right away!" After the laughter died down, he got serious, noting that his father had joined a labor union while in college and later became a hard-core Communist, making politics a big part of his upbringing...
