USATODAY.com - Democratic presidential contender Howard Dean, pounded by rivals in recent weeks for his positions and his temperament, has lost ground in the USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll, and retired general Wesley Clark has emerged as his chief rival.

Should we pay attention to the
Democratic Presidential candidates on TV
(or anywhere)?

Should we pay attention to the
Democratic Presidential candidates on TV
(or anywhere)? 01/22/2004 02:13 AM

Flip on the television these days and instead of an entertaining comedy one will often find news coverage of the Democratic Presidential primaries.  Should we pay attention to the speeches and commentary?  Perhaps the Web Age has relieved us of the need to sit and watch these men in real time.

Let's look at http://www.deanforamerica.com/, for example.  A quick read of the "on the issues" section is more informative than 100 hours of TV coverage.  Here are some things that I noticed...

His "job creation plan" (under "economy") proposes to make sure that broadband Internet access is "available" in rural areas.  Given that it is already possible to get two-way high-speed satellite Internet at a reasonable cost ($70/month, a touch more than the $50/month that urbanites pay for cable modems) anywhere in the Lower 48 and has been for several years, this presumably means that Dean wants to subsidize politically powerful people who live in underpopulated farm states.  So basically Dean wants to shovel more money from people who live in cities to people who live on farms... just like every other American politician.  Dean doesn't propose to invest in anything new, e.g., a wireless Internet infrastructure.

Dean has an extensive section on K-12 education.  Whenever a federal politician talks about what he is going to do for America's schools you can be sure that he is lying.  The federal government pays only about 7% of the cost of K-12 education in this country and therefore has almost no control over what happens in our classrooms.  Pity the poor teacher in her classroom.  She has to answer to the vice-principals and principal of her school.  She has to answer to the superintendent of her city or county.  She has to answer to a skyscraper full of bureaucrats in her state's central education administration.  And then all of them have to answer to the federal U.S. Department of Education, all of whose employees answer in turn to their Secretary who answers in his or her turn to the President.  There are more layers of management above a K-12 teacher than above an assembly-line worker at GM or Toyota, which makes sense until you reflect that it takes $billions in capital investment to build a car whereas plenty of brilliant people were educated at their parents' kitchen table.  Honest politicians generally start from the position that the federal Department of Education should be abolished.  Then they show up in Washington and find that this isn't political acceptable so they try to curb its growth.  The dishonest ones make a lot of promises about what they are personally going to do, sitting at their desk in the White House, for a kid in a classroom in Peoria, whose school is almost entirely funded by local taxpayers.

On foreign policy Howard Dean complains that the Bush Administration has "disengaged" from meddling in the 55-year-old war between the Arab nations and Israel.  His proposed solution?  "The Israeli government will have to work to improve the living conditions of the Palestinian people".  This is a tough goal given that the Palestinians have a 5% annual population growth rate; the Israelis would have to somehow generate more than 5% annual GDP growth among the Palestinians, many of whom are illiterate (a 5% annual GDP growth rate is something that we Americans are unable to achieve for ourselves, despite the fact that we have almost unlimited capital and a well-educated citizenry).  The U.S. meanwhile will "have to take responsibility with its international partners for helping the Palestinians establish a middle-class democratic society in which women fully participate in economic and political decision-making."  (See http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/20 01793273_honorkilling17.html for a story on women's status within present-day Palestinian society.)

Under Energy/Clean Air, Dean says "To reduce oil consumption and global warming emissions, Governor Dean believes we should increase the average fuel economy standard to approximately 40 miles per gallon for all automobiles, including SUVs and minivans."  This might have some effect on the environment circa 2020 but it doesn't do anything to discourage people from driving their 2004 model year monster SUVs.  An economist would chuck all of Dean's complex proposals in favor of a $10/barrel tax on oil, a $20/barrel tax on imported oil, and some sort of tax on pollution.

It would appear that a thoughtful voter could easily write off Howard Dean as a non-entity after spending 30 minutes at his Web site.  And perhaps this process can be repeated for the other candidates.  Are there any Dean supporters who would care to use the comments section to note brilliant ideas from the Howard Dean campaign that I've overlooked?  And would one have been more likely to discover these ideas watching Dean on TV rather than looking at his Web site?

Democratic Party party 04/27/2004 11:36 AM
Quite an action-packed day yesterday. I did two keynotes, at two separate events. After the second one, I went back to the first event, a gathering of about 125 people who run libraries and museums, because I'm trying to write some stuff about metadata and taxonomies. I learned, for example, that one well-known art museum has had to create over 300 new Dewey Decimal categories for illustrated manuscripts ... and one for astrology. Afterwards, I went to a cocktail party put on by the hosts of the second event. It was quite the power party. I got to chat for...

No, I am not inviting people who want to write letters to the same folks explaining why they're not supporting Howard Dean. So now we know where the limit of my liberalism is.
