...convention as well as the Senator's eulogy for John F. Kennedy Jr.'s funeral last summer. But Shrum is just as well known for hitting hard. In debate rehearsals, he plays the moderator while former Congressman Tom Downey takes Bradley's role. No one watches the real thing more intensely than Shrum; when Gore nails an answer they've practiced, he leaps from his chair and paces small circles, pounding a fist into his palm...
Said "gee whiz" yet? Don't. Campaigning still takes place in the real world--on doorsteps, soapboxes and televisions. In a TIME/CNN poll, only 17% of adults in the survey said they use the Internet to gain access to politics.

...anything else she could wear. Somehow the candidates have got it in their heads that it's bad to be openly negative, let alone angry. The fear of being dubbed a negative campaigner clearly stymied Steve Forbes. He waited to unleash his trademark you're-not-a-real-conservative ads against Bush. When Bush fought back, it was in muted tones; he referred to the bilious ads Forbes ran against Bob Dole in 1996, but did not challenge the tycoon directly...
