- Whoa. He didn't do much in Arkansas?? Back up what you say, because I
- am quite familiar with his accomplishments. And he wasn't voted the
- most effective governor for nothing...
-
- In Arkansas, the major needs were education and the economy. He committed
- himself to improving both, and did so.
-
- In America, our primary needs are health care and the economy. I believe he
- will do his best to improve these areas, and they will be the ultimate
- indicator of his success during his first term.
-
- Some of the other issues, e.g. the recent situation involving gays and
- the military, must be treated carefully. While I agree with his stance,
- the process should move slowly and involve two-way communication with
- the people, or else he will alienate many people and lose the election
- in 1996, much as he lost the governorship in Arkansas in 1980 for
- pushing reform without gathering consensus.

- Oh yeah, my mother always taught me to say something nice about people,
- so here it is: you make more sense than that Broward Horne guy...
