Gloves come off in fight for key states Matthew Campbell, Pittsburgh AFTER lurking reluctantly behind the front line, President Bill Clinton will march into America's election battle this week to launch a rare, personal attack against the Republican candidate with the aim of heightening doubts about his qualifications for high office on the eve of voting. Clinton, who loves nothing better than the cut and thrust of an election fight, is planning to portray George W Bush, the Republican governor of Texas, as a man of "no ideas and little experience". According to White House sources, he will warn that Bush would reverse the prosperity America has come to enjoy over the past eight years. His offensive against the son of the president he put out of office reflects a growing frustration among Democrats at the inability of Al Gore, the vice-president, to neutralise Bush as the day of reckoning approaches. The latest polls gave the Republican a slight lead over Gore with nine days to go before voting on November 7. Clinton's last-minute intervention may also promote the eerie sensation that history is repeating itself. Although former president George Bush is not expected to appear on the campaign trail this week, he has said it is hard to restrain himself from attacking Clinton. He once warned that he would "get personal" if Clinton ever jabbed at his son. Until recently, both sides had kept a tight rein on invective. The election has suddenly turned nasty, however, over inflammatory telephone calls to voters by allies of Gore and provocative television advertisements by supporters of Bush. sunday-times.co.uk
