The Selling of the President

“The idea that you can merchandise candidates for high office like breakfast cereal, that you can gather votes like box tops, is, I think, the ultimate indignity to the democratic process. 

—Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965), American politician and presidential candidate (1952 & 1956)

• Editorial Comment: Oh, Adlai, you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.
