...grudge, and it was no surprise when he and Brown had their picture taken together nine critical days before he met with Clinton. After meeting Clinton in Albany at week's end, however, Cuomo not only said their differences had been buried but paired glowing praise for the Arkansan with an extremely tepid mention of Brown. "As a package, Bill Clinton will make in my opinion a superb President," said Cuomo. "Jerry Brown, I will support if he is the candidate, given the alternative...
...penchant for offering what sounds like detailed programs that on examination sometimes turn out to be distressingly vague. Nebraska Senator Robert Kerrey has already assailed the imprecision of Clinton's stand on health care, which is emerging as one of the hottest issues of the campaign. The Arkansan promises a plan that will combine insurance coverage of everyone with cost controls so stringent as to make the plan "revenue neutral": that is, it would require no additional tax money to finance. To some experts that combination sounds flatly impossible...
...Hampshire primary Feb. 18 as a launching pad to wins in scattered primaries and caucuses from Arizona to Maine, and then storms the polls in 11 states, eight of them in his native South, that will vote on Super Tuesday, March 10.

Arkansan food is actually a mixture of the three cultures which fight for attention in the state: Tex-Mex, Southern and Cajun. (Contrary to what New Englanders believe, Arkansas is not in the Midwest...
...quit. There just was not enough campaign money to go around, he said. Ohio Governor Richard Celeste ended his brief toe dipping in Democratic waters, explaining he could not do his duty to Ohio and a presidential campaign simultaneously; Cuomo made the same argument in February. Others, including two Arkansan favorite sons, Senator Dale Bumpers and Governor Bill Clinton, have pleaded family concerns. Gary Hart, chased out for his lack of such family concerns, last week tentatively decided to end his quirky flirtation with re-entering the race and, friends say, is preparing to issue a statement to that effect...
