Steve Forbes and his victims
Article Abstract:
Steve Forbes is not presenting a very appealing image as he campaigns in the run-up to the Republican primaries. He comes across as very bland and boring, and his presence will simply serve to damage the prospects of other Republican candidates. Clashes between Republican candidates will be beneficial to the Democrats, especially as Vice-President Al Gore will probably not face any serious primary opposition. Forbes has been particularly critical of Texas Governor George Bush, the Republican party's best hope of regaining control of the White House.

Third-party dreams
Article Abstract:
New Hampshire senator, Bob Smith, is to be an independent candidate for the presidency and has left the Republican Party. This move has angered leaders of the Republican Party. Meanwhile, another candidate, John Kasich, has decided to support George W. Bush as Republican candidate, rather than run himself. Pat Buchanan and Gary Bauer are thought to find defection from the Republican Party an attractive idea. The party may need more defections in order to improve its performance.

Bill Paxon's lean and hungry look
Article Abstract:
It is unclear whether Republican congressman Bill Paxon's involvement in efforts to have Newt Gingrich removed as Speak of the House enhanced or damaged Paxon's chances of becoming US president one day. The result depends on how Paxon reinterprets those efforts and related events.
