Presidential Race First in Modern History Where
Political Parties Spend More
on TV Ads Than Candidates
The 2000 election is the first in the history of the current
regulatory regime where more television advertising dollars were
spent by the major national political parties than by their chosen
candidates, according to a study by the Brennan Center for Justice
and Prof. Kenneth Goldstein. The Republican National Committee
and the Democratic National Committee together spent $79.9 million
on television ads in the 2000 presidential campaign, far more
than the $67.1 million spent by the campaigns of Gov. Bush and
Vice President Gore, the study says.

Editorial
Bush Won, America Lost
Like many of our fellow citizens, I feel no elation or
joy that the election is over. It really didn't matter who won
or who lost. What hurts and pains the most is that our nation
is in a perilous situation. Our most cherished institutions, that
have made this nation the best in the world, have been ignored,
bypassed, and rendered meaningless by fraud, deceit, greed and
the dangerous grasp for power by dangerous unprincipled men. America
has met its worse enemy and it is US! We stand naked and exposed
for the fraud that we really are.

not be waiting for the disconnection of the world's computer systems;
the sudden release of missles; or the collapse of world markets.

Mexico's Quinones Impressive in 3-2 Loss to
U.S.
By John Philip Wyllie
Coming into Sunday night's game with the United States, Mexico's
fledgling women's national soccer team had been outscored 41-0
by the defending Women's World Cup champions. The fact that Mexico
had never come close to winning and not scored a single goal in
the team's five previous meetings no doubt weighed heavily on
the mind's of Leonardo Cuellar's young players. This made Sunday's
hard fought battle, a 3-2 decision in favor of the United States,
all the more surprising.
