Skeptical
We were skeptical when you ran
against the 17th District organization
candidate in 1958. But we
cheered when you won, and when
you won in 1960, 1962, and
1964-the latter especially, when
the odds were incredible.
We were dubious when you ran
for mayor in 1965-against even
more incredible odds. And we
cheered when you won.
And we thought that perhaps
you were The One. You would go on
to Albany or to a Senate seat. And
you would do what Nelson Rockefeller
failed to do to become the
first activist progressive Republican
President since Theodore Roosevelt.
