He said the nation needs leadership and ideas, and friends are urging him to seek the Democratic nomination again

Notwithstanding the monkey business, isn't Hart a fairly conservative democrat? I find it odd that he said "the nation needs leadership and ideas" on election day. I view this as a bit%h-slap to Sen. Daschle and his no-agenda obstructionist pals.

Your choice of adjective to describe the slap is a good one. Because his timing, waiting until his party is circling the bowl on election day, makes this pronouncement little more than a whine to my mind.

You must be new in politics. Announcing for political office is a two step. The candidate first issues a call for new readershi. A week later he or she announces that since nobody else has responded to that call( in spite of the fact 15 other people are running) he will make the supreme sacrifice and volunteer to run.
