...followed even before he officially announced, and after his successful mission to Syria to negotiate the release of downed U.S. Airman Robert Goodman, the attention sharply increased. After Glenn slipped in the poll standings, more notice was given to Gary Hart. But there is still scant coverage for Alan Cranston, George McGovern, Ernest Rollings or Reubin Askew. Stories about the "second tier" of candidates, moreover, tend to dismiss them as having no chance...
...BEST example of hypocritical support of defense construction comes from this year's Democratic presidential race. The most vociferous supporter of a nuclear freeze. Sen. Alan Cranston (D-Calif.), has also been one of the strongest supporters of the B-1 bomber. Surprise again--the B-1's principal contractor.

California Senator Alan Cranston found even some antinuclear activists slipping out of his fold, turned off in part by his advocacy of the B-1 bomber...
