He's constantly in the air and on the air; indeed, it seems a minor miracle he can get his CNN weekend talk show taped every week. "He's still the President of Black America, he still has the best rap and he's without question the hardest-working man in American politics," says Daniel Cantor, who went on to found the New Party after serving as labor coordinator for the 1988 Jackson campaign.
