Unlike the others, Carpenter is a man of immense energy, a true campaigner. He starts by saying that Bradley has no chance of accomplishing any of his plans. He does like some of Bradley's proposals, particularly universal health care, but he reminds us that Bill Clinton tried to accomplish many of these same goals and failed. Clinton is a man who can talk anyone into anything. It is certainly a novel campaign tactic, but it does seem to be winning over the college crowd.
Carpenter now paces the room excitedly.
Al Gore will make this country a little better. Potential political chants float into my mind. Carpenter's words have an effect, but not the one he was hoping for. He has made me like Bradley more. At the end, the campus coordinator for Gore asks for volunteers, but I was right about Bradley.
