The Rev. Al Sharpton, the bombast from New York who is a 2004 White House hopeful, is trying to win the endorsement of the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr. I bet he will not get it. But Sharpton, a second-tier long-shot candidate, is trying hard. The centerpiece of Sharpton's platform was adapted from the writings of Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.). Sharpton supports the lawmaker's drive for constitutional amendments to guarantee equality in public education, health care and voting rights. Sharpton's entry into the 2004 presidential race adds an interesting chapter to the history of Sharpton and Jackson Sr.'s long-running,...
