"This December will mark three years since United Nations inspectors last visited Iraq. There is no doubt that since that time, Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to refine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer- range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies." -- From a December 6, 2001 letter signed by Bob Graham, Joe Lieberman, Harold Ford, & Tom Lantos among others

 Sandy Berger and the Real Hillary Clinton

By Ronald A. CassElections are not just about platforms but character. Republicans were shocked by Harry Truman's election as President, certain that the Missouri ward politician had neither the intellect nor the expertise needed for the presidency. The public, however, wasn't looking for someone polished or intellectual. They responded to Truman's no-nonsense style, his sense of personal responsibility, and his instinctive grasp of the essence of his charge. Harry Truman didn't duck hard decisions and didn't shy from asserting the power of his office or his nation. Likewise, Democrats were - and remain - perplexed over Ronald Reagan's popularity. They underestimated Reagan's intelligence and misunderstood key aspects of what he stood for. But most of all, they missed that he was popular as much for who he was as for what he did. Reagan radiated optimism, faith in America, and conviction that he could spread a gospel of liberty and freedom through a combination of good humor and military might. Americans trusted him and his vision, even when they might not have chosen all of his policies.Voters still want to know if a candidate shares their views and values, if he seems like "one of us," and if he - or she - is likely to respond to a crisis in a way that gives us comfort in his or her leadership. Those are more matters of gut instinct than spam. In today's scripted and staged political world, it's especially difficult for voters to get a fix on the character issues they care about. When a misguided comment or look can de-rail a candidacy, it's no surprise that an entire profession now exists to coif, dress, coach, and produce the candidates' appearances, as well as to tell us afterward what we saw and heard and what to make of it.But sometimes, you can still see a glimpse of who the candidates really are.
