RAW GORE We know what you've been up to the past two weeks, George W. Bush. You've been coasting, letting Gore do all the pledging until it's your turn to get some press. Next week you'll flood us with promises, won't you?

BUSH 37 --To win California --To win Tennessee --To reauthorize the welfare-reform bill --To make education top priority

GORE 70 --To support Israel --To open up to the Cuban people --To support DNA testing in trials --To allow partial-birth abortions only to save the mother's life --To not attack Bush personally --To make Social Security solvent until 2054 --To cut the crime rate for the next 10 years --To wipe out all special-interest money --To have universal health coverage for children by 2004 --To keep the military the best in the world --To end child labor and protect workers --To not raise the retirement age to 70
