Really, their candidacies were something of a gift for long service, since both were lost causes.

I liked Fritz Mondale, and surprisingly, did not find him dull, just very, very upper midwestern. I think that he would have done well in Lake Woebegone. Unfortunately, there are few Lake Woebegones around.

Fritz was right about taxes, too. We just are not adult enough as a nation to understand that we can't always have everything that we want all the time exactly when we want it. Quick-fix is us.
