...point out, the Gore campaign far outspends them on polling ($1.25 million to $690,000 this year). But those figures obscure the fact that much of the data Bush uses is paid for by the Republican National Committee, whose ads are coordinated with the team in Austin. Even mock anti-Bush ads have been tested to see where the candidate is most vulnerable. Last week Castellanos and a bevy of R.N.C. officials sipped beer while they watched from behind a one-way mirror as 30 Virginians registered on dial-a-meters their reactions to ads attacking Gore's positions...

Downey popped in the videotape, and an image of George W. in a mock debate filmed a month ago flickered onto the screen. "Oops. We shouldn't be watching this," Downey said. He shipped the lot off to the FBI and gave up his debate role. Then it was the Bush campaign's turn to say "oops." The tape had been in the possession...
