With great hoo-ha from inside the Washington Beltway, Sen. BillBradley (D-N.J.) has announced his retirement from the Senate anddropped hints that he might run as an independent candidate forpresident in 1996.
No doubt about it, Bradley is one of the brightest members ofthe Senate. But in announcing his departure, he made a point thatperhaps didn't come across too well. Riding the popular criticism ofthe political process, he expressed disappointment with both partiesfor settling into separate, distinct political ruts: Republicans loveto criticize government and Democrats love to embrace it.
Political parties that long have been criticized for being assimilar as Tweedledum and Tweedledee are now getting it from Bradleyfor being different. Political parties will be what voters want themto be, and if the two parties hear different voices raised by thepublic, that may be a problem for Bradley. But not for us.
