...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...
...surprised and dismayed by your coverage of the Democratic debate on foreign policy. The article outlined the major points of all but one of the candidates, giving about as much attention to the opinions of George McGovern as it did to Reubin Askew, who did not attend. Walter Mondale, being the front runner, was understandably given the most coverage. But the other candidates, all of whose percentage points in the polls do not add up to Mondale's, were each given roughly equal space-except for McGovern. According to the New York Times, McGovern was "the most humorous, relaxed...
That is why it is important to cast a vote for a candidate with ideas in the upcoming primary. When McGovern cut short a shouting match between Mondale and Glenn about each other's past records in a recent New Hampshire debate, demanding that those candidates cease arguing about each other and start arguing about the issues, he did so correctly. With the support he has, Mondale seems destined to win in July, but he will be a longshot in November if he does not learn from the reinvigorated Democratic coalition...
...SEEMS clear, given Mondale's recent attacks on the Reagan administration that he will stick to the easy marks: the policies of the Republicans and the blusterings of his colleague the astronaut. That is why a vote for Jackson, a vote for Hollings, Cranston or even Hart or McGovern, not to mention Askew, is a vote that matters in the long run. Mondale must fight for his own electorate in order to beat. The Great Communicator, for at the moment, a vote for Mondale still seems a vote for Carter. And both because it will not beat Reagan and because...
While the late-starting Jackson has made spectacular gains in the eight-man field, he is still seen chiefly as a charismatic gadfly with little chance of winning the nomination. George McGovern draws waves of affection from some Democratic audiences and scores points for his clear-cut stands on issues, but after his trouncing as the party's candidate in 1972, he seems unlikely to emerge as a credible contender. Former Florida Governor Reubin Askew saw Glenn's slide as helping his own effort to consolidate conservative support, based in part on his anti-abortion position. South Carolina...
