Democrats have found in the name Kennedy the Emblem of their past Uccles t and their Hope for regaining the winning touch. For i it years since Crit spa in Rddick republicans Hai c eco the Holder of thai name us the syn Bol of the hollow Ness of i Hai democratic dream. With Ted Kenned sidelined both parties in a know that the democrats u ill be led into the a Lecin by a stranger and perhaps unc like sen. Toph k. Biden or off Eli War or rep. Hichar a. Gephardt of mis Souri Olio was too Young even to Vine for Julin f. Kennedy. That changes the dynamic for Bush parties immediately for the Demijan jts and ultimately for the gop. Jackson s comment denies the Denio Chatfi dilemma who can hold the Paru s voter bae which is predominantly Amon the poor the minorities and single working women and at the same time expand its reach into the ranks of Middle class married couples ? Kennedy was the one 988 contender who Uulu Challenge Jackson at the level of Emo Tion and enthusiasm for the allegiance of minorities and the poor. Thai gave him free Jura to reach for the Middle class As he began to do this year with Bis Voles on the Gramm Rudman budget process and other issues.

Neither sen Gary hand Colo. The presumed front runner nor Gephardt nor an of the Southern and Western democratic governors and senators who Are speculative Eon tenders for 19118 can voice their Lech Coralic visions of a growth oriented Economy and Sci cry without being accused by Jackson of turning their backs on the democrats most Boyul and most needy Comiti Mencias. With Jackson clearly contemplating the option of candidacy after the 1988 Pri Maries the in cat of sundering the demo Crealie coalition is not an Idle one. Biden and new York gov. Mario a Cuomo arc better positioned because Boih of them have won campaigns Wilh heavy minority support in Wilmington. Del., and new York Cit Yand both arc. Like Kennedy the kind of orators who can Sway audiences in Black churches. At the same Lime both Cuomo and Biden have emotional appeals to Middle class families. Suonio evokes inc imm Igram tradition of ethnic Pride. It lives on in Many second arid third generation Irish polish hispanic and italian families Tike his own which have achieved Success by i hair own sacrifices and efforts but crave acceptance Ani recognition Al this Point none of the democrats not even previous conic Der Han com mands deep loyally from More than a Liny handful of his fellow partisans.
