Who would govern better?

Article Abstract:

The tax plans of the two Republican presidential candidates, George W Bush and John McCain, contrast their different policymaking styles. McCain proposes a modest tax cut, and plans to close corporate tax breaks worth $150 billion, to fund these, with more concern over a balanced budget than many recent Republican proposals. Bush is calling for bigger tax cuts, and has presented his policies in a more prepared manner, with advisers helping to work out the details, in contrast to McCain's broader approach, with details calculated later. McCain has strengths in foreign affairs, and focuses on campaign finance for his domestic policies.

Humdinger!

Article Abstract:

The Republican party has George W. Bush as the front-runner for presidential candidate, though he risks being pushed toward the political right in his efforts to distance himself from John McCain. Bush's campaign in South Carolina has been negative, and McCain has responded in only a slightly more gentlemanly way. There are risks of divisions within the party, and independent voters could be deterred. McCain has greater appeal to Democratic and independent voters, so may be better placed to beat Democrat, Al Gore.

Striking back at the empire

Article Abstract:

John McCain and George W Bush are seeking the Republican nomination, and McCain has won Arizona and Michigan, building on a earlier success in New Hampshire after a defeat in South Carolina. McCain supporters see their candidate as attracting minorities, independents, and members of labor unions, all of whom could help to swing a vote. Bush has attacked McCain on the grounds that he has won support from Democrats and independents. Bush benefits from his organization, and closed primaries may benefit him, but thereis still hope for McCain. A bitter battle for the nomination could also lead to problems for the Republicans.
