...former Massachusetts Gov. Michael S. Dukakis asked voters whether they wanted “a president who fights for the privileged few, or a president who fights for you.” In 2000, Al Gore ’69 argued that while Republicans fought for “big HMOs, big oil [and] the big insurance companies,” he was “fighting for the people.” And this year, Sen. John F. Kerry, D-Mass., very originally declared that his “campaign is about fighting big oil, fighting big HMOs...
...Critiquing the Players Joe Klein got it right about John Kerry [Feb. 2]. There is something missing (call it electability), as was the case with Al Gore.

Some point to the pugnacity of the media or the other Democratic contenders, some fault Dean’s lack of a military background, some excoriate former campaign manager Joe Trippi or endorser Al Gore ’69, some simply sigh and say “it was never meant to be.” We will never, perhaps, isolate the cause of Dean’s rapid downfall. I submit, however, that we should not keep our minds closed to the possibility...
