Ask him what he said to Dukakis in the New York debate. Ask him how this was later picked up by the George Bush campaign as the 'Willie Horton' case. This was supposed to be Bill Bradley's turf. No one seems to have told Gore this. He makes no mention of Diallo or racial justice.

I know that once my son has the proper education, racism will not be an issue. E laine Kamarck couldn't have put it any better. Kamarck, meanwhile, presided quietly over the Gore policy brain trust, taking on some of the more emblematic New Democrat projects of the early Clinton years. Her official title is something like Senior Domestic Policy Adviser to the Vice President, but no one on the campaign seems to know offhand. Like most inner-circle types, she is too fundamental to Gore 2000 for her actual title to convey anything meaningful.
