Ross Perot is not the sort of politician who would pick a running mate from, say, New Hampshire just to bring geographical balance to the ticket. He'd rather draft a can-do hero. Insiders say Colin Powell has been on his short list. But Perot's greatest ticket-building efforts so far, according to one report, have been spent trying to woo Desert Storm commander NORMAN SCHWARZKOPF. Frustrated voters would be likely to cheer Stormin' Norman as just the sort of guy who could help get things done in Washington. But Schwarzkopf, who reportedly has turned down Perot...
...really. Hazelwood had long been one of Exxon's most accomplished skippers and was acquitted of all major charges against him.

Now there are doubts about Tsongas' credibility -- along with his health...
...Luther King, a leader in the Democratic Party, a man who has worked for years toward the goal of empowering and reintegrating poor people into our political and social systems. But he was so hated that even the suggestion by Brown that he would choose Jackson as his running mate was enough to rule out any consideration of the rest of Brown's message...
