All In One Boat

I went to Golden Gate Fields today to watch the ponies run. Number 9 in the 8th race started out late, caught up and thrillingly led, then faded, coming in at Show. So these polls of presidentials strike me. What on earth do we know on any given day about what will be in months to come?

Well they didn’t really debate. The secret contest was to see who could say Ronald Reagan the most times in ways that seems completely spontaneous. For those of us who couldn’t count because the tv was on mute, Ronald Reagan was plastered all over the shimmering blue back drop — along with MSNBC (the sponsor) and I don’t know what else… a beer?

Dear Mayor Giuliani:

Since you have based your presidential campaign almost exclusively on your reaction to terrorist attacks on New York City, and since you have recently accused Democrats of being on the defense against terrorism and therefore guilty of inviting more casualties, I have one question for you: Where were you on terrorism between January 31, 2001, and September 11th?

Sincerely Yours,

Gary Hart, (co-chair, U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century)
