OPINIONS
— Gainesville Daily Register—
Michael Dukakis’ back-to-
back victories in Wisconsin
and Colorado have dulled
somewhat the luster of the
Rev. Jesse Jackson’s candida-
cy but done little to avert a
bruising internecine struggle
within the Democratic Party.
Although Dukakis’ tenuous
hold on the position of front-
runner was bolstered by this
week’s balloting, the Demo-
cratic race remains essential-
ly a neck-and-neck contest.
Both candidates are likely to
arrive at the Atlanta conven-
tion with enough delegates to
lay claim to the nomination,
igniting a divisive battle for
the spoils.
The political calendar now
is studded with make-or-
break dramas for the two
dueling candidates, with the
most important one occur-
ring in California on June 7.
On April 19, New York vot-
ers will determine whether
Jackson’s monolithic support
among blacks can offset the
deep distrust that many Jews
feel toward him. Jackson’s
embrace of Palestine Liber-
ation Organization leader
Yasir Arafat and his refer-
ence four years ago to New
York City as “Hymietown”
have prompted Mayor Ed
Koch to advise Jewish voters:
“You’ve got to be crazy to
vote for Jesse.”
Fearful of alienating black
voters, Dukakis has been
careful not to exploit openly
his rival’s vulnerabilities. But
he must begin to draw clear-
er distinctions between him-
self and Jackson if he hopes
to emerge as the undisputed
first-place candidate.
At the same time, Dukakis
sorely needs to breathe some
political fire into his message
to the Democratic electorate.
The passionless, technocratic
style he has exhibited thus far
is not likely to prevail against
the powerful rhetorical flour-
ishes that Jackson has used to
inspire a fervent following.
Following the Pennsylva-
nia, Ohio and Indiana primar-
ies in late April and early
May, the battleground will
shift to California, the final
and most important contest
in deciding who will win in
Atlanta. Both Democratic
contenders are likely to make
their final stands here, giving
California voters a rare, deci-
sive impact on the outcome of
the convention six weeks
later.
For Michael Dukakis, the
race now hinges in large
measure on whether he can
begin to capture the heart as
well as the mind of the Demo-
cratic Party; for Jesse Jack-
son, the question is whether
the radiance of his candidacy
can last until July.
