Alas, poor W
Article Abstract:
George W Bush has been criticized on a number of counts, and has been affected by his deat in New Hampshire, which had led to a response mixing panic and arrogance. Bush is focusing on issues, since John McCain's success in New Hampshire has been partly attributed to a focus on character. Character has become important in US politics as a result of the failings of President Bill Clinton, while prosperity means that there is less enthusiasm for issues. Bush could campaign more effectively if he got more in touch with his audience.

Colouring in George W
Article Abstract:
The policies of George W. Bush are becoming clearer, and he has set out plans for simplifying the tax system and cutting tax rates. This is a major reform, though Gary Bauer and Steve Forbes favor even more radical measures, including a flat tax. They argue that the tax system should not be a tool for social engineering. Bush takes more of an incrementalist approach, though his proposals to restructure in line with school results could lead to major changes in the education system. There is still a lack of clarity on Bush's priorities and areas where he is willing to compromise.
