Louis Farrakhan, seeking to move to the mainstream, cosponsored a rally in Washington, D.C., with the Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Looks like he still has a way to go.
In the debates, George W. Bush assured the public of his competence and began to appeal to its latent conservatism— in particular, its fear of an overweening state. Al Gore has failed to make the case that he has had much to do with their present happy state, that he would continue it, or that Bush would end it. The public senses, as well, that Gore is not temperamentally suited for the presidency. His tone toward his countrymen veers between messianism and unctuous flattery without ever touching down on respect. Bush enters the final phase of the campaign holding the upper hand.
