Former Daily Cal Columnist Myers is writing for Newsweek on 'student reactions to the Presidential campaign.' It's very good! Covering the 'campus mood' is usually a failure straight out, but Ms. Myers does it quite well. She hits on Kerry's non-prominence, the primacy of local over national ones on campus, and the relative success of the Dean Campaign here.
Pundits expect Dean's candidacy to falter, and if it does, his many supporters here will be looking for a new home. Kerry could be the one to bring them out of the cold. After all, not all of Berkeley's Vietnam habits have died. Most students still don't like war, and plenty of them also don't like this president. But while putting someone new in the White House is a priority, Kerry shouldn't take for granted that Berkeley students think he's right for the job. He's got work to do before they understand why war hero John Kerry is the best alternative to wartime president George W. Bush.Email This Post! |
