prime constituencies a centrist
alternative, the results would
have been much closer. The only
way to defeat the Republican
candidate in 1988 is to offer a

disadvantaged and disfranchised
sectors. If the Democratic
leadership ignores statistical
realities, and persists its
stampede to the right, it will
effectively to lose any hope of
recapturing the White House. It
will also create, to the left, the
necessary political space for the
development of a real “second”
party.
