When Gary Garfield gets out his violin, people listen. They say the president should be an optimist. Reagan was like that. Sometimes we're a bit down in the dumps.
Depression is serious.
The Garfield campaign's admission that their candidate is sometimes gloomy may be a gamble in the eyes of seasoned political hands, but Betsy Tacy , Garfield campaign managers, says it makes perfect sense. It's a huge part of the electorate just waiting to be tapped. Gary is giving them a voice just by being himself and saying the things he says. That's part of being glum. Won't Be Surprised.
