A potent television campaign and a lot of shoe leather help make the No. 2 Democratic Senate candidate a force to be reckoned with. But will his aggression impress voters or drive them away?

It's 10:45 p.m., and U.S. Senate candidate Peter Deutsch is talking to five voters at a McDonald's in tiny Flagler County.
He still has one more campaign stop before the four-hour drive south to his home in Hollywood. Certainly an incumbent member of Congress, a contender to represent one of the nation's largest states, the leading fundraiser in the race, has better things to do.
But the silver Pontiac van lingers at the curb. Deutsch will not leave the vinyl booth until he's got the five votes.
He likes to call himself a fighter, and he fights to win.
