We want to be very sure.'' Federal sources on Saturday said there may be reason to doubt the accuracy of the tests, and that authorities were working hard for final ...

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 8 — Al Gore set aside the stoic valedictory written for him by an aide and picked up the phone. George W. Bush did not take his call happily. “You don’t have to get snippy about this,” Gore spat. THE ACID of their yearlong fight — character assaults and name calling, layered onto the Clinton-Gore defeat of Bush’s father in 1992 — boiled over as Gore, in an underground office at the War Memorial, insisted that Florida’s decisive 25 electoral votes remained in limbo. “Let me make sure I understand,” protested Bush, his victory speech in hand. ...

Ten days after a confidential Bush campaign videotape mysteriously arrived at the office of an Al Gore adviser, low-level Bush and Gore staffers were discovered to have been exchanging e-mails, sources told Fox News. Responding to reports that the FBI had tentatively identified a senior staffer in George W. Bush's campaign who sent out the videotape of Bush preparing for the presidential debates, Bush campaign aides Saturday denied that it was one of them and lashed out at the Justice Department for leaking the details of their investigation. "It is completely inappropriate and wrong for the Justice Department to play ...

The fact that the Doyne email is to frat buddy kind of gives me a sick feeling. Remember Hannity said this goes to the top of the Gore campaign? I would not characterize the email as its described so far as going to the top of the Gore campaign. We obviously do not have the entire story yet, but sheesh, ...

W A S H I N G T O N, Sept. 23 — Al Gore’s presidential campaign today suspended a staffer after he boasted about knowing of a mole in the rival Bush camp. The suspension of 28-year-old Michael Doyne, assistant to the Democratic candidate’s field director, came after questions were raised about his response to inquiries from ABC News. A source said that in late August Doyne claimed there was a mole in the Bush campaign who “knew where Bush was going before Bush knew.” Two weeks later, Doyne cautioned the source to be “hush-hush” about the mole ...
