...will be their best opportunity to win support for new legislative programs. By the end of next year, they figure, many lawmakers will be less susceptible to White House pressures, since by then Reagan will be regarded by some as a lame duck. "There'll be no extended honeymoon this time," says David Gergen, former White House communications director. "It's essential that he reach out to the Democrats quickly...
