"George W. Bush has a very famous name, but he can overcome it. If he runs against Gore, the century will end not with a bang, but with two wimpers. And he could win it all as well, if he tells the fundamentalists to kindly go to hell!" Mark Russell (PBS, 7/ 30)

"He doesn't know much, and he hasn't done much, but everybody likes him." Molly Ivins (EW,6/ l7)

"Not the brightest light on the block, and thin-skinned, and doesn't have a clue about how real Americans live." Jim Hightower (AC, 6/l8)

Maureen Dowd as Gore on the Guv: "Bush Bush Bush. That's all anyone's talking about. I can't believe America wants to elect another Bush...The only reason W. gets more popular with every poll is that people are confusing their Bushes...He was just some do-nothing hothead hanging around his dad's White House...Even his parents didn't think he'd be any good as a politician. They placed all their chips on Jeb...He's too highfalutin to even bother leaving Austin to share the stage with Quayle, Forbes and Lamar at cattle shows...And now they say W.'s carousing past gives him character and manliness...They're saying I'm the wimp...Watch out, W. I may act like a Boy Scout but I know how to fight dirty...Why do you think Garry Mauro is my new best friend?" NYT, 6/ 24/ 98
