I don’t look at it that way.
As I see it, television for poll- •
ticians is just a modern-day use

I know it seems odd to decide
which man you’re gonna vote
for on how his face shows up on

ainl much different from de-
ciding by how he shakes your
hand and how well he remem-
bers your name, and that’s the
system we’ve been using in this
country for years, and it seems
to work, at least the govern-
ment from city to county to
state to national seems to work
better here than it does in most
countries.

progressive, that is, everybody
but me. It’s more progressive to
