The 2000 election season is upon us. The campaign coffers are overflowing. The pundits are pontificating and the pollsters are polling. But election 2000 is hardly creating a ripple of interest. Voter turnouts will probably set new lows. Democracy, such as it is, withers. November 11, 1999.
Populist Jim Hightower has long been active in Texas politics. He is a witty, no-holds-barred commentator and the host of the Austin-based, nationally syndicated Chat 'N Chew radio show. He has little patience for what he calls "Republicrats" or "Demopublicans". Neither liberal nor conservative, he roots himself in the populist tradition, and he loves to use humour as a political weapon. He is the author of There's Nothing in the Middle of the Road But Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos and If the Gods Had Meant Us to Vote, They Would Have Given Us Candidates.
