One gets the impression Powell is being told to run the State Department as an office manager, and that the Cheney-Rumsfeld-Bush Sr. cabal will do the heavy thinking on "important matters." I'd agree with that. Throw in Rove. Bush will let Powell speak, he's more elequent. But I doubt if Speak, Powell, Speak is what Powell had in mind. jttmab

Leading Senate Democrats Extol Party's Appeal By Nancy Mayfield 7/16/01 INDIANAPOLIS (Reuters) - In a possible preview of the next presidential contest, three leading senate Democrats -- Joseph Lieberman, Tom Daschle and Hillary Clinton -- extolled their party on Monday as representative of the nation's politically moderate middle. ``The Bush administration challenges us to show once again that we are better able to govern, that we Democrats are the genuine centrists in American politics,'' said Lieberman, the Connecticut senator and running mate for standard-bearer Al Gore's failed 2000 presidential bid. Greeted enthusiastically by a gathering of 650 state and local politicians and other party activists meeting in Indianapolis, the three senators refrained from hinting at their possible presidential aspirations in 2004, though both Lieberman and South Dakota's Daschle have been touted as potential candidates. Former first lady Clinton, who is now a senator from New York and drew the loudest applause, criticized the Bush administration but urged bipartisanship. ``I really believe we're at a critical turning point and I'm regretful that the new administration wouldn't continue down the path of proven prosperity and progress. We are going to have to do our best to get that train on the right track,'' she said. Daschle, handed the post of Senate majority leader with the party defection of Vermont Republican Jim Jeffords, drew laughter when he said he had to shorten his address ``because I have to cut Jim Jeffords' grass.'' ``We invite people to join the vital center. We welcome those that want to come further into our fold,'' Daschle said. Hosting the three-day gathering of the Democratic Leadership Council, a grouping of centrist or self-styled ``New'' Democrats, was Indiana moderate Sen. Evan Bayh, who last month ruled himself out of a presidential run in 2004. ``People have questions about the Democratic party: people who are devout, people who are married, people who have served in the military, people who own a firearm for hunting or personal safety reasons,'' Bayh said. TELLING RIGHT FROM WRONG Lieberman, who was criticized for making references to his Jewish faith during campaign speeches last year, said the party had been too reticent about drawing the moral ``lines between right and wrong.'' ``I fear that we have sometimes made the faithful feel unwelcome in our party, particularly if they're open and outspoken about their religion,'' he said. But Lieberman shot his sharpest arrows at Bush, the presumed opponent for whoever wins the Democratic party nod for 2004. ``I'm disappointed that so far the Bush administration has too often put politics and party ahead of the progress of the country and narrow interests ahead of the peoples' interests. He's catered to the right wing instead of doing the right thing,'' Lieberman said.
