Well, that explains it.

I’m gettin’ goofy…I might even just cuss a bit!
Al Gore vows more spontaneity in his next campaign. What, you mean the good ole boy Tennessean thing was an act? And haven’t we heard this before?
Testing the Waters.
Al Gore plans to test his fund-raising prowess this weekend to see if he can still run with the big boys. Let’s hope not.
The Darkest of Horses.
TNR spends some time with Howard Dean, the forgotten Democratic contender.
Head of the pack.
Former veep candidate Joe Lieberman tries to get out in front of the rest of the Democratic pack. Can’t say I’m too excited about this candidacy.

Dems and the GOP discuss their 2002 Senate campaign strategies.

Will the Greens derail Paul Wellstone? Normally, I’m very sympathetic of Green challenges to Dem candidates, but Wellstone is about as progressive as they come.

Hail to Seamus.
The Clintons get a new dog.
