While some of those visiting North Oaks are legitimate contenders, political pros cannot believe that others, such as Cisneros and Collins, have enough experience or clout outside their own constituencies to be under serious consideration. Mondale heightened these misgivings by saying that he might pick someone who had not come to North Oaks...
...CLAIMS THAT Woodward misrepresented Belushi, that he explored his great excesses while ignoring his compassionate side, came off in the end as nothing more than the whines of entertainment industry pros who aren't used to dealing with real reporters, rather than flaks, who should have shut up when Woodward knocked on their doors. The point here is that Woodward approached his prey with the careful, methodical reporting with which he approached his more traditional, acceptable Washington targets--from the Nixon Administration to the Supreme Court.

Most Democratic political pros estimate that Hart's margin over Mondale against Reagan would have to be at least 10 percentage points to influence many convention delegates.

He is perhaps the most prominently mentioned alternative. Yet having endorsed Mondale and helped him mightily to win the New York primary, Cuomo is not about to turncoat. Nor would most of the delegates want to embrace such an untested, unknown prospect. Various other names float about: Party Elder Robert Strauss, Former California Governor Jerry Brown, Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy, Arkansas Senator Dale Bumpers, even Chrysler Chairman...
