What
Are They Fighting For?
The protests at the Republican convention promise to be
some of the most spectacular counterculture events since
the sixties, with a whole new arsenal of activist weapons
and a professionalized class of organizers. Great theater,
absolutely. Effective politics? Thats another question.

New

Local pols have been jumping on the front-runner's bandwagon
faster than you can say "double-digit lead."
So what if they once backed Dean? And Clark? (Greg Sargent,
March 8, 2004)
Leading
Man
With a series of wins from Maine to Tennessee, John
Kerry all but locked up the Democratic nomination last
week. But even as the famously serious senator began
to smile a little, a daunting reality set in. The fight
with George W. Bush has only just begun. (Chris Smith,

The city's wealthy Kerry backers have a message for

Hurry,
Kerry
Former front-runner John Kerry has a hero's war record,
a Senate seat, all the family wealth one could hope
for. He even looks like a president. But to become one,
he's got to get past Howard Dean. And time is running
out. (Meryl Gordon, November 23,

Whether he's running for president of America--or

chaser. I said, Fool, I am the ambulance. Now I'm the
national ambulance." (Mark Jacobson, September 15, 2003) |

Al Sharpton is trying to push his way onto

Jackson. Why won't Jackson step aside? "His ego's bigger

For Democrats, the

Recently, John Edwards stopped being just
a senator from North Carolina and started being a presidential
candidate. Not that he can admit it yet. But in powwows
all over New York, the charismatic young Democrat is testing
the waters -- and the party's loyalty to Al Gore. (Ned

Howard Dean, who grew
up in Manhattan on the Upper East Side and went to Yale,
is running an anti-yuppie campaign as much as an antiwar
campaign. Its not all that dissimilar, as it happens,
to the anti-yuppie campaign Yale and Harvard-M.B.A. alum
George Bush ran the last time around.(Michael Wolff, November
