Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Four
"Michigan--a big, industrial state--was expected to be another close one. [Ron] Dellums had a pretty strong base in Michigan, but there were also a lot of more moderate voters in that state, and it felt like it would not matter who came first."

My body is ready for president Dellums.
Also, I kinda want him to run in 2020, just to joke that he is the "True Black Socialist Candidate" on Fox News.

Dellums would need to pick someone that offsets his liberalism. Probably an upper South Democrat. Chuck Robb is a good choice
Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Eight
"After the Tennessee primary, and [George] Ariyoshi dropped out, it was clear that we were going to win all the remaining primaries--I think it was clear even if Ariyoshi did not end his campaign. So we start compiling a shortlist of possible running mates--there was Senator David Boren of Oklahoma, Mario Cuomo, Governor of New York, George Mitchell, Senator from Maine, Senator Dale Bumpers of Arkansas. [Ron] Dellums wanted a progressive, but we also understood the need for someone more mainstream."
