This Time It’s Personal.
Today I settle all family business, so don’t tell me you’re innocent, Carlo. Bush tells the UN we’ll go it alone against Iraq if need be. I mean, something has to happen before the first Tuesday in November, or else there’s not much point, is there?

After winning the Minnesota Democratic primary, incumbent Senator Paul Wellstone runs on corporate responsibility. Hey, he’d get my vote.
Fool me once…

The NYT watches John Kerry’s old Vietnam footage with the Senator and contemplates the relevance of military service to political life.
Erskine v. Liddy.
Former Clinton Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles tests the West Wing theory of politicking in the NC Senate race.
