Hart Decides Against 2004 White House Bid
(What do you suppose this refers to?) the money, the media and the polling and so forth to go forward with a campaign," Hart said in a telephone interview. Basically, Hart knew he had a loser campaign and no chance to win. Even less than Sharpton. As Hart emerged from private life this year, he has been frequently confronted by questions about his departure from the race in early 1987 because of his involvement with model Donna Rice. Asked recently, what effect the scandals of the 1990s, including President Clinton's involvement with intern Monica Lewinsky, would have on public interest in his 1987 exit from politics, Hart said simply: "I don't know." Hart and wife Lee remain married after 44 years, living in Colorado. In Troublesome Gulch - really! Active in Democratic politics for more than three decades, Hart served as George McGovern's campaign manager in the 1972 Democratic nominee's unsuccessful bid for the presidency. This is why we know Hart is a loser at base. | |

| #1 Does anybody else see a last minute "save the party" bid to get Hillary! or AlGore to run? The odds are enormous against either of them , but better than the current 9, which look like a Farm-League roster rather than major leaguers |
