...allegations of Clinton critics, however partisan their motivations (a contestable claim, considering that Clinton appointed most of the Justice Department officials who have spoken out against the pardons), should be considered seriously. Even for those willing to overlook Clinton's (many) personal failings in light of his political successes, it has become impossible to claim that the perfidious nature of Clinton's personal life did not irrevocably taint his ability to serve his country as a statesman...
...Kennedy in 1960 was more likely dead voters in Chicago than intrepid youths casting their ballots. Florida is also swampy ground on which to place a soapbox. One vote in this election made no more difference than in 1960 because not all ballots were counted. This is not partisan rhetoric. Americans learned that in national elections large numbers of ballots are discarded or incorrectly tallied.

In California, for example, one million absentee ballots remained...

...years since he was elected, Davis has triangulated obsessively, shunning confrontation and partisan dogfighting in his search for the middle ground on such issues as education, public safety and HMO reform. Because he has a reputed campaign chest of some $21 million, there is already talk of a presidential bid in 2004. He likes to be compared with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, pioneer of the moderate Third Way school of politics. "Make progress where there is already common ground--that is what I believe in," Davis told TIME in an interview last week in Sacramento. But with utilities going...
