The Democratic presidential scene is like a jaunt through literature. Bill Clinton plays Julius Caesar, not knowing who to trust, but still in the cat-bird seat. New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley stars as one of a few disgruntled Senators, waiting in a hallway. Bradley hasn't been shy about expressing his disappointment in Caesar's reign, and now he is threatening to run against Clinton as an independent.
Jesse Jackson, on the other hand, is Don Quixote, tilting at windmills. He stands no chance of beating Clinton if he runs as an independent, but he could split the Democratic vote. Perennial fringe candidate Lyndon LaRouche is the Mad Hatter, hosting a tea party all his own, and joker Pat Paulsen brings some comic relief. Meanwhile, darker-than-dark horse candidate Bruce Daniels, a duel citizen of both the U.S. and Canada, seeks to shake up the party from the ground up.
