Democrats Forge New Paths in Primary
Race
Christian Science Monitor, Oct. 23-This
year's Democratic presidential candidates are mapping out very
different routes to the White House than the established path
of previous cycles, adding to the unpredictability of the race,
and giving a host of new states - and new constituencies - a
potentially significant voice in the process of selecting the
party's nominee. (Quote by Sam Popkin, a political
scientist at the University of California at San Diego.)

Use Economy as Issue in Senate Races
Cleveland Plain Dealer, Oct. 23- One
year before Election Day, Democrats are raising a question they

opportunity in economic issues, they say. But Republicans and
some political analysts remain skeptical. (Quote by Gary
Jacobson, a political science professor at the University
of California, San Diego.)
