on Sunday dismissed ^professiona
guessers" who doubt the viability
of his campaign and rejected spccu
lation that his personal life is abou

In an interview with The Associ

those rumors.
"You stay your course and no
dignify that which is irrelevant 01
not essential," Jackson said. "Ii
you confront it and dignify it, yoi
give it meaning. Experience wil
leach you thai people do not judg
you on the home run you hit on
day or the error you make theothc
day, they judge you by your cumi
?lative score.
"For the most part, people judg
politicians about like they judg
themselves _ as human beings."
When Jackson opened his cam
