- <p> With Bush's popularity dipping because of his tax-lips flip,
- Democrats seem a bit more interested in his potential
- vulnerability. Some prancing in the paddock:
- </p>
- <p> MARIO CUOMO. A shoo-in against an amateur in New York's
- gubernatorial election. But third terms tend to be disasters,
- and the once coy Gov refuses to rule out a run.
- </p>
- <p> JESSE JACKSON. He's seeking the no-substance job of D.C.
- shadow senator, but still eyes the top. Noting his early poll
- lead, he complains, "That's why you don't have any discussions
- about the polls."
- </p>
- <p> BILL BRADLEY. The 6-ft. 5-in. former hoops star has the
- stature to be President, but he'll have to regain the
- competitive fire of his basketball days to make a serious run.
- </p>
- <p> SAM NUNN. His speech on using the military to solve the
- "national security threat" of an endangered environment sounded
- like a campaign kickoff, and he said last week he plans to
- ponder a presidential bid.
- </p>
- <p> BOB KERREY. Smitten by his new publicity, the Nebraskan is
- quietly asking friends if they would help run a 1992 campaign.
- A charismatic Vietnam Medal of Honor winner, could he be the
- Ailes-proof candidate?
- </p>
- <p> DOUG WILDER. Virginia's Governor is clearly enjoying trips
- to Iowa and New Hampshire. With his "New Mainstream" rhetoric,
- he's positioned to displace Jackson as the premier black
- politician.
