The Shape of the Campaign

After several days of presidential primary debates, Campaign 2000 is shaping up around four stalwart candidates and a handful of issues. But there are some issues developing in some of the campaigns now too.

Senator John McCain's Straight Talk Express has been sidelined by reports he intervened with federal regulators on behalf of some donors, and Vice President Al Gore has being doing damage control since he was criticized by the professionals for his gays in the military views and after his campaign manager said Republicans don't have any real race programs or policies apart from poster boys like Colin Powell and J.C. Watts in the Congress.

There are some choices emerging now around tax policy and health care; around God, gay rights, farms and financing campaigns; but do we know enough yet to make any real decisions?
