...political choices in terms of core beliefs; the strategy (mimicked by President Clinton) of using his skills as a communicator to appeal directly to the electorate over the heads of Congress when it was in the hands of his enemies; even the famous "Teflon" coating that allowed him to maintain his political momentum oblivious to the damage that might have been caused by such major scandals as Iran-Contra...
...ballot as an independent is like "climbing a cliff with a slippery rope." But he could be getting a leg up from various third parties. The idea is to have it both ways: collect their endorsements--and their access to a line on various state ballots--but maintain his "independent" aura.

(His relatives in the U.S. maintain that he was abducted and then brainwashed by North Korea.) If Jenkins leaves North Korea, however, the Japanese would prefer that he stay in Japan for the sake of his family. Foreign Minister Yoriko Kawaguchi recently conferred with U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell on the Jenkins case; Koizumi also talked to President George W. Bush...
