Why Democrats Will Win By Joseph Fitzpatrick
Democratic chairman argues the 1960s Virginia race will hinge on issues like taxes, inflation, housing, and tuition costs. He urges a fiscally cautious platform, tax cuts targeted at corporations with emphasis on small businesses, and a stance that government should act only to correct, not create, problems. The nominee must unite diverse groups and say no to unwarranted government expansion.
