CONSIDERATIONS ON OUR POLITICAL PROCESSES*

In: Presidential studies quarterly, Band 14, Heft 3, S. 341-347

Abstract

THE AUTHOR DISCUSSES THE WEARINESS THAT A GREAT MANY AMERICANS FEEL ABOUT THESE LONG, LONG PRESIDENTIAL SELECTION PROCESS THAT WE NOW HAVE. ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH IT, IS NOT ONLY THE WEARINESS OF THE VOTERS, BUT THE SHEER FATIGUE AND EXHAUSTION OF THE CANDIDATES. THE AUTHOR WOULD HAVE TO SAY TO YOU-THAT, THINKING BACK ON MY OWN EXPERIENCE, AND ALSO WATCHING WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, THE AUTHOR IS ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT ONE OF THE PRINCIPLE CAUSES OF MISTAKES IN PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNING IS FATIGUE AND EXHAUSTION.
