Description

Sometimes this hour slips into self-congratulation--but perhaps that should be

allowed in men who are the first Republican governors in their respective states since the 1870s. And when they buckle down to analysis, they are acute if not scintillating. CC: "What we were able to do was to differentiate what the intervention of government might be. [Southerners] don't want the Federal Government intervening. They do want an activist state and local government dealing with problems." ... JM: "I got maybe 15 per cent of the black vote [in 1984]. But particularly it was stronger in those areas where those blacks who are in business live." ... WFB: "Purely at an objective--if you like, Machiavellian--level, would it help Republicans for Jesse Jackson to simply run away with the Democratic vote?" GH: "In looking over the main front runners on the Democrat side, we'd be very happy to have any of those opposing us in 1988."
