(1) There were no headlines reading "Mondale Wimps Out", at least
    not that I've seen.   The conservative Sun-Times in Chicago headlined
    "She Whiz!" (a la New York Post), and the equally conservative (but
    somewhat more respectible) Tribune ran a front page analysis by the
    national political correspondent that opened "So who's a wimp now?"

(2) Why do people think that "insider" politics
    is superior to the much more democratic (with a small 'd') politics
    practiced by NOW and other constituency groups within the Democratic
    Party?   All this special interest BS only applies to the Democrats
    because the Republican special interests are in the background.  What
    is a $300 billion military budget but a huge payoff to Reagan's
    defense industry supporters?  What is the cuts in enforcement at the
    NLRB, EPA, CPSC, FCC, etc. except pandering to Republican special
    interests -- big business?  At least the Democrats are open about
    their contituencies.
