post-MoRteMs 229 who’d take the magazine out of his hand when he needed to talk with people” rather than surrounding himself with policy-oriented staffers. Dave Adams, a spokesman for the state GOP, noted that Gorton had worn sweaters and gone tie-less during the 1980 campaign against Magnuson. Dark, senatorial suits on his lean frame now made him look stiff. 4 goRton Left it to the pundits, and they had no shortage of opinions. Lou Cannon, the White House correspondent for The Washington Post, said it was bogus to blame Reagan for Gorton’s defeat. The president wasn’t about to say anything more about Hanford than he did, Cannon said, and the Gorton campaign had only itself to blame for fanning the flames by inviting him to the state. David S. Broder, another widely read columnist, said the broader issue was the damage to civility. “All across America voters have been inundated in a tidal wave of negative TV ads which have polluted the atmosphere, cheapened the dialogue of democracy and guaranteed that whoever wins office this year, the public has been cheated of its chance to hear its would-be leaders address the issues they must face.” Broder pointed to the “essentially unconstrained flow of cash into congressional campaigns” and the ascendancy of consultants and their pollsters. 5 Newman believes, however, that “if something is important, the American people know it, regardless of what campaign professionals advise. The tail does not wag the dog.” As a lifelong baseball fan, Gorton had to chuckle if he saw Martin Nolan’s analysis in the Boston Globe. The 1986 campaign reminded Nolan of Mickey Mantle’s next-to-last home run. In the twilight of his career, legs aching, the Yankee slugger stepped to the plate against the Detroit Tigers in September of 1968. Denny McLain was on the mound for the Tigers. With a 6-0 lead, he was feeling mischievously magnanimous toward the future Hall of Famer making his last appearance in Detroit. McLain strolled to within a few feet of the plate and in a stage whisper told Bill Freehan, the catcher, “Let’s let him hit one.” Mantle turned to Freehan and asked, “Is that right?” Freehan nodded. When McLain delivered a juicy fastball down the middle, Mickey sent it soaring for his 535 th homer. The Detroit crowd cheered. When their eyes met as Mickey rounded third base, McLain winked. Watching intently from the on-deck circle was Joe Pepitone, who strode to the plate, waved his hand in the middle of the strike zone and said “Right here!” McLain promptly knocked him down. The explanation to the puzzled Pepitone was simple: “You ain’t Mickey Mantle.”
230 sLAde goRton: A hALf centuRy in poLitics “As they brushed off Tuesday’s dust from their uniforms,” Nolan wrote, “Mack Mattingly, Jim Broyhill, Jeremiah Denton, Ken Kramer, Jim Abdnor, Mark Andrews, Ed Zschau and Slade Gorton all have discovered that they ain’t Ronald Reagan.” 6 Actually, you could make a case that Ronald Reagan wasn’t even Ronald Reagan any more.
