NAACP seeks White House meeting with Bush over civil rights
The NAACP and other civil rights leaders have pressed President Bush for a meeting, citing past outreach by George H W Bush. Mfume recalls requests in 2001 and 2002 were declined citing busy schedules. White House says Bush engages with varied groups, citing Urban League talk but no NAACP Miami convention.

Analysts say problems beyond Gov. Davis' control
Analysts argue California’s decline in jobs and the 2000-01 energy crisis stem from factors outside Governor Gray Davis’s control. They say he was slow to act and note no concrete evidence of deliberate manipulation of the budget, while recall supporters insist he bears responsibility as Democratic leader. The energy crisis traces to a deregulation plan approved by former Gov. Pete Wilson.
