...stage rattled, handlers have allowed the Governor plenty of time to rest beforehand. All in all, the result has been a more confident, relaxed candidate. "A lot of politics, and of running for President, is getting used to the process," Bush said in explaining his change in style. "Man, it's new to me. And I'm getting used...
Jesus, if he were still around and had settled in Iowa, would be a very confused man when the caucuses roll around next week. Every time he opened his mailbox in the past month, he would have found come-ons from half a dozen presidential candidates who claim to know him.

But Levin's brainpower, delivered first from a pedestal as Time Warner's strategist and futurist, has commanded the board of directors' attention. And so have his flameouts, riveting in the same way a NASCAR wreck is--all wheels, fire and smoking rubble. His track record, after all, includes...
