...really may have given the canvassing board pause was a sight that strikes fear in any Florida politician, especially elected Dade County judges like Lawrence King, the board's chairman: angry Cuban voters. They marched on the Clark Center after a conservative radio station, Radio Mambi, broadcast interviews with two Cuban-American G.O.P. members of Congress, Lincoln Diaz-Balart and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who decried the board's moves. For Miami's Cubans, almost 80% of whom voted for Bush, this election is mostly about avenging Elian Gonzalez. One of Judge King's paid political consultants is Armando Gutierrez...

Along the way, Baker has run or overseen six campaigns for President: one for Ford, two for Ronald Reagan and three for the elder George Bush. It's a resume no one else in either party can match...

...relieve the longstanding questions about just how serious Cheney's coronary problems are and why he won't say more about them. Cheney had three heart attacks between 1978 and 1988, the year he underwent quadruple-bypass surgery. In July, after Bush picked Cheney as his running mate, two of his doctors issued letters giving him a clean bill of health. But it was a bill without particulars. Cheney has repeatedly refused to allow reporters to interview him or his doctors about his health, to name the numerous medications he admits to taking or even to say where...
