Lines: 19 According to one of the weekly news magazines, the Democratic party is very worried right now because it has been revealed that young, white, males, once a great source of support, are leaving the party folds in droves. Perhaps this is the major reason for wooing more of the female vote. It seems as if no matter what Fritz does in the Veep area, he will lose a chunk of voters. That possibility, along with the 14 point drop in the polls, has the democratic party doing some real head scratching to come up with some new ideas. Now that Jackson has told his followers to 'sit tight', and Hart won't give up the fight, this week's convention should be a real barn burner. I plan to watch as much as I can stand, just to see the floor fights. The Democratic convention is always a lot more exciting than the Republican convention. Those news hawks can make a mountain out of a molehill in two seconds flat. I just love it when they have to eat their words. T. C. Wheeler
