A wimp acts Superman Gore has begun to persuade voters he is not just a boring wonk. I knew what her first word would be. The delegates did their ecstasy bit, waving posters which bore her name.

You can read them as you used to be able to read the old Pravda. As speaker after speaker cries that 'Al Gore will fight to save the world or fight to keep his shoes shiny', you know that the focus groups have dubbed him a wimp, not a fighter - that, rhetorically, he must fight and fight again. That apparent sameness, that clustering in the centre, is vital to Bush. It makes the choice for November the fresh face from Texas rather than the same old grimace from inside the Washington beltway. Ken Starr's heirs convene another Lewinsky grand jury.
