Though the abortion debate could now land squarely back in the middle of the presidential campaign, both candidates mainly used last week's announcement to reinforce longstanding positions. While the next President can't reverse the FDA outright, he could pick an FDA commissioner and a Health and Human Services Secretary who would raise safety questions and try to tighten distribution--with the goal of making medical abortion just as hard to get as surgical abortion...
...consent to the searches and police had no warrants for them, they were unconstitutional. In January 1994 the advocates also filed a complaint with the National Institutes of Health, contending that because researchers published a paper on the results of the secret drug screens, the hospital had conducted improper human research.

But even Gore strategist Carter Eskew thinks the whole "likability" question is "another sort of pundit myth," comparable to the charge that Bush doesn't have the "gravitas" to be President. "The question is, What...
...Maybe voters don't actually have to want to invite the candidate over for dinner, so long as they can make some kind of human connection. When it came to that type of empathy, Bill Clinton had wires shooting out in all directions: he knew what it was like to be from the wrong side of the tracks, what it was like to be the fat kid. He knew what it was like to have problems with his wife, and to be fired in a public and humiliating way. Bush has talked about what prompted him to lock the liquor...
