Editors: Context: A commentary on current affairs.
 
By Mike Royko
(c) 1976 Chicago Daily News
(Transmitted Feb. 16)
    It's impossible to avoid taking a position on Daniel P.
Moynihan. But it's risky. You can find yourself agreeing
with people whose opinions you normally despise, while
upsetting people with whom you usually agree.
    But it has to be done. Moynihan is one of those people about
whom nobody is neutral.
    So, when it comes to Moynihan, I think he ought to run
for President.
    See what I mean? Right now people who usually think I'm crazy
are agreeing with me because they like Moynihan. And that
probably makes them angry, because if they agree with me, they
have doubts about themselves.
    And people who sometimes agree with me are upset because
they dislike Moyinhan. Which makes them wonder whether they
should have agreed with me on anything else, and that makes them mad.
    This is one of the reasons I think Moynihan would make a fine
candidate. The rest of the candidates are having trouble, getting
people awake, much less excited.
    Naturally, I'm talking about him as a Democrat. What the
Republicans do doesn't concern me. Twice they have given us
President Sneaky, and now they are trying to make up
their minds between President Ford, a plodding congreessman,
who was President Sneaky's last prank, and Ronald Reagan, who has
the style and mentality of a TV anchorman. Actually, what
they do does concern me, but I try not to think about it
because it will depress me.
    I prefer to think about what the Democrats might do
to prevent it.
    And Moynihan could do that. He's already better known than
most of the Democratic aspirants who are rushing from state to
state after delegates, like crazed ladies at a Macy's basement sale.
    The chances are they'll still be at it months from now when their
convention begins, and at the last minute, a howl of
joyful laughter as fanfare, Hubert Humphrey will come bouncing
in. The thought of listening to Hubert laugh through another
campaign is not funny.
    If the Democrats could settle on Moynihan early, they would
spare us all of the TV nonsense of primaries in places like New
Hampshire, where fewer people vote than in some congressional districts.
    Since politics is a practical business, we should ask about
Moynihan in the terms practical politicans use:
    Is he dumb? That doesn't always matter, but in difficult times
it's better not to have a dumb President. There is always
room in Congress for dummies who want to get involved.
    No, he doesn't seem dumb. At times he even sounds intelligent,
and is said to write his own speeches. The fact that he is a
Harvard professor shouldn't be held against him, because he
grew up in a tough New York neighborhood and used to tend bar in his
ma's saloon, so even Harvard can't possible have diluted all of
his good sense.
    Can he get the nomination? Well, four years ago the Democrats
nominated George McGovern, who stood there yowling ''Come home,
America,'' like some sap trying to get his wife out of a
gin mill. If he can get nominated, anybody can.
    But if nominated, can he win? Mayor Daley likes him, and that
means he already has locked up the votes of Chicago's
cemeteries, the County Morgue, and anybody who can be dragged
out of public housing or a nursing home.
    Even more important, he's basically a liberal, but the
doctrinaire liberals hate him, and nobody can hope to win
without their dislike.
    They're mad at him because he told off little countries like
Bazumba and Trichnosa, which is a silly reason to dislike
him. The people in all those little countries didn't even
know he was telling them off, and if they did, they'd be proud
because it's the first time anybody noticed them.
    Finally, the question politicans seldom ask, but some do-gooders
might: If elected, would he make a good President?
    Who knows? But I have it on good authority that he can walk
and chew gum at the same time.
