...This presented the veep with his big chance to pull the "just folks" response: "I don?t know about all these percentages he?s tossing out." Lehrer pushed Bush back to Gore?s accusation, leaving the Governor looking defensive and slightly...
Cheney, chosen for his governing potential and his Desert Storm credentials, was preceded onstage by a onetime Veep contender, Governor Tom Ridge. The Governor spoke more than twice as long as the candidate did, and with 10 times the animation.

The 28-year-old aide insisted he had been joking, and no evidence has surfaced linking him to either the debate prep material or anything else funneled from Austin. The whole circus is all the more silly because FBI investigators are still...
