Even if that could be forgotten, there have been more recent offenses. Last March, in a typically quixotic move, Kemp endorsed the presidential bid of fellow supply-sider Steve Forbes, just eight days before Forbes withdrew from the race. Last month, after complaining in public that Dole had been slow to put together an economic plan, Kemp jumped in with his own highly publicized "growth seminar" on taxes, held in Washington...
...August convention. Dickerson notes: "Unlike Buchanan, who has a different core support, the Forbes constituency is likely to melt back into the Republican electorate." Also, don't expect to see Forbes, whose challenge drained the Dole campaign coffers, out on the hustings with Dole. All of this marginalizes supply- sider Jack Kemp, who endorsed Forbes after Dole's convincing sweep of "Junior Tuesday" last week.

"Kemp is a very valuable commodity in the party," says Kramer. "Anybody...
...ECONOMY. Though Reagan had to reverse a lifetime's preaching on balanced budgets to become a supply-sider, at least he had a plan for the economy; and unlike most modern Presidents, he concentrated on passing it. Domestic affairs are less glamorous than foreign policy. Richard Nixon compared them to sewer projects. Jimmy Carter gave the economy a couple of pages in his memoirs. Bush was even less interested than those men in conditions at home. He let others take care of that while he kept up his tag-team phone calls to foreign leaders. He was undoubtedly sincere when...
