...hundred out-of-state volunteers answered a similar call from Al Gore, banging on Iowa doors for the Vice President last week after being summoned through the Internet. Conservative firebrand Alan Keyes beckoned followers from an audio Web banner. "You want conscience back in America? Put principle back in our lives," he blared from the computer speakers of targeted Iowa and New Hampshire Net surfers. On the campaign bus in Des Moines, an aide for publishing tycoon Steve Forbes beamed a Web-page update from a wireless keyboard the size of an Altoids box. And last week journalists couldn...
...Gore messagemeister Carter Eskew decide the time had come to share that bit of history with the voters of Iowa. "Let me introduce a friend of mine to you," Gore purred to Bradley as a man in dungarees stood up in the audience at their first debate in the state.

"The key thing is to find ways to make the positive powerful enough that it absorbs the negative energy that comes from politics as usual, which is what we're dealing...
This winter's flu onslaught has added another talking point to the health-care debate: the declining state of emergency services. Certainly the doctors are good, and the equipment gets better every year; in fact, the number of trauma centers that can deal with serious injuries is on the rise. But the ability to deliver service is being compromised. Medicare funds have been slashed as the number of uninsured patients has skyrocketed. A lack of beds and skilled nurses hasn't helped matters. In the past decade the total number of EDs in the U.S. has dropped from about...
