Reply #46: IMAGINE if Hart won in 1984...and why the polls do matter

[draft_mario_cuomo]

If Hart won the nomination in 1984 we may have been spared four more years of Reagan--and consequently four years of Bush I and most importantly eight years of Bush II. That would have meant no Iraq war. That would have meant none of the Bush disasters of the past six years.

We ignored the polls in 1984. We paid a heavy, heavy price. We cannot afford to foolishly do the same again and sentence ourselves to even more years of Republican rule.
