Karl Rove: Political diehard who plays dirty for Bush
http://news.independent.co.uk/people/profiles/story.jsp?story=577493
By Andrew Gumbel
30 October 2004
Depending whom you believe, Karl Rove is either a visionary
instrumental in the drive towards a permanent Republican revolution in
US politics, or an evil genius who has dragged campaigning into the
gutter and so compromised the foundations of American democracy.
Either way, it is clear that no mere campaign consultant has wielded
such power in more than a century. Nobody is more closely associated
with George W Bush's improbable rise to power - Rove's frequent
nickname, in fact, is "Bush's brain". And nobody will be able to take
more credit if the President succeeds in clawing his way to a second
term in the Oval Office.

At this time four years ago, Vice President Al Gore was dashing madly
across the country, trying to blunt the challenge from Ralph Nader
while working to secure his base voters in Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania and Florida. Gov. George W. Bush of Texas was trying to
explain the late disclosure of a 1976 arrest for drunken driving,
although campaigning at a more confident and leisurely pace, following
Karl Rove's bandwagon theory that voters fall in line behind a
candidate who acts like a winner.

'How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)': All Their Fault
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/31/books/review/31SCHILLI.html
By LIESL SCHILLINGER
Published: October 31, 2004
LISTEN, I'm as open-minded as any liberal -- as all liberals. We have
to be that way: it says so in Webster's dictionary, where, among other
things, the word ''liberal'' describes someone who ''displays
tolerance of others' views.'' So I'm happy to let Ann Coulter talk.
She stands before me as I write this. Smug, boxy and impassive, she
wears one of her trademark microminis. I recall what my high school
English teacher back in Oklahoma used to say about essays -- they
should be ''like a miniskirt: long enough to cover the subject, short
enough to be interesting.'' Coulter's subject must be brief indeed.

TAMPA, Oct. 29 -- They stand patiently in wilting heat for as long as
three hours. Occasionally, the busiest and the frailest peel off, but
the vast majority persevere, sharing sunblock, bottled water and an
unquenchable eagerness to vote -- the earlier the better.
Jeb Bush's Influence in Fla. Inspires Awe, Rage

MIAMI, Oct. 29 -- President Bush, borrowing a bit of biblically styled
phrasing, calls Florida's governor "Brother Jeb." The brothers -- Jeb,
the younger one, and George W. -- have been everywhere in Florida
together the past few months. They have handed out bottled water in
hurricane-battered towns and roused crowds side-by-side at campaign
rallies.
