PLAYERS Conventional Wisdom Clinton (+/-) Waffle syrup spilling on your shirt. Time doesn’t fly when you’re sitting on a lead. Bush (+) Annoying both the media and the CW with last-lap run. The mud cure works. Perot (+) Old CW: Egotistical flake. New CW: Brilliant egotistical flake. Real contender in ‘96? Gore (-) Who’s talking about reversing the ticket now? This pine cone adds two points, max. Quayle (+/-) Numbers stink as he drops off radar screen. But CW sees “growth” for ‘96. Stockdale (-) Why are you here? If Perot had gotten someone else, this would really be interesting.
