Americans have not yet begun to pay the price for the Bush presidency. The global ramifications of his foreign policy, the long-term impact of his budgetary excesses, our depleted military, the ongoing erosion of civil liberties and church/state separation, the unprecedented acquiescence to corporate power…all these factors, and more, will dictate the course of this nation for decades to come.

So is Walter Mondale.

The smartest man to ever run for president. Or at least the second smartest.

These things are always hard to know, because so many other variables and unknowns are involved.

I guess I would have liked Mario Cuomo to have had a chance.

and displace the soporific Dukakis. I think he would've been a cinch to whup Bush.
