Farewell to Gephart

Ok, I knew he wasn't going anywhere, but I couldn't understand why all my friends who are in elected office (or were at one time) are such fans of his. They were all rooting for him, and now I think I understand.

Richard Gephart is a good man. He had good ideas, despite his attempt to win through unions in Iowa. His ideas were sound, and his integrity was unimpeachable. I hope that he finds a niche for himself, or is asked to join the cabinet of the newly elected president.
