- <p> Jesse Jackson announced last week that he would seek
- election as a District of Columbia "Shadow Senator," a nonjob
- created by the D.C. Council as a way to lobby for statehood.
- No real surprise there. But the eye opener is that Jackson made
- his bid after several private meetings with Ron Brown, chairman
- of the Democratic National Committee. Brown, a close ally
- during Jackson's 1988 presidential bid, won his leadership post
- by promising that his ties with Jesse were a thing of the past.
- Yet a Jackson spokesman says Brown agreed "to mobilize the
- party" to help Jackson get the post and support his petition,
- made to majority leader George Mitchell, for Senate floor
- privileges.
