Abstract

What Not to Be, Ponders Jackson

Corn, David | July 31, 1995 issue

add to cart close window

U.S. Senator Jesse Jackson keeps hurling clever rhetoric and score the occasional media hit. He can once again play the tiresome will-he-or-won't-he game, which is what many political pundits believe he is doing currently. But for all the vitriol he casts toward the White House, Jackson shows no enthusiasm for confronting U.S. President Bill Clinton as a candidate. Several of his advisers note that it appears to them that Jackson, a two-time Democratic presidential candidate, is much concerned with the prospect of being blamed, fairly or not-for damaging the President and easing the Republicans' way into the White House should Jackson run as a Democratic or independent presidential candidate.
