...Dade elections supervisor David Leahy, a board member, also works for Penelas.) Both Echevarria and Florida G.O.P. chairman Al Cardenas deny such contact. But Penelas, a Cuban American, is seen as vulnerable by G.O.P. leaders because he has been estranged from the Gore campaign since the Elian debacle. Either way, Democrats are asking what the board said--and with whom they met--while holed up in the Clark Center waiting out the riot...
...Republican President has built his team since 1975. He has been Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, White House chief of staff and, for a brief stretch under Gerald Ford, acting Secretary of Commerce (edging out George Shultz for the modern record for most top jobs). 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...

Alan Wasserman, president of the hospital's medical faculty associates, mentioned that Cheney's second blood test for the cardiac enzymes given off by a damaged heart muscle showed that Cheney's "enzyme levels were slightly elevated." Anyone who is not a cardiologist might suppose...
...expanding the number of judges on that court so they could pack it with their own. (They failed, just as Franklin Roosevelt did when he tried a similar maneuver with the U.S. Supreme Court.) A special legislative session picking Bush electors, using the original deadline as guidance, is a way of saying, in the words of Republican state senator Charlie Bronson, "Kiss my grits...
