- <p> JESSE JACKSON may have taken himself out of the 1992
- presidential race, but he's still a spoiler. As the early
- campaign takes shape, Jackson is clinging tenaciously to his
- bargaining power. He has told his political cadre to remain
- uncommitted and to forget about shifting support to any of the
- active candidates, most notably DOUG WILDER. When the Virginia
- Governor approaches African-American activists for help, many
- have said, "Jesse told us to hold off." Wilder has managed to
- lure a few seasoned Jackson advisers into his camp, along with
- some low-level organizers and contributors. But he is still too
- much of a long shot to snag them all. And other Democratic
- candidates are prowling the same ground.
