How about Barry Cohen for president?
By Marsha Cohen
Suppose, for a moment, that there were a sparkling and youthful politician with a brilliant gift for oratory whose demeanor and message were attracting legions of young and previously uninterested voters.
And suppose further that this politician, a first-term senator from an urban state, were poised to become the first member of his ethnic group to be the presidential candidate of a major political party.
And suppose his name were Barry Cohen.
Wouldn’t you be excited about one of us being this close to the American presidency?
And wouldn’t you be worried?
