For the Record
In the Nov. 30 story, “Bethlehem
Native Discusses Middle East Peace”,
the story incorrectly stated that
Bethlehem is located in Israel.
Bethlehem is located on the West
Bank, which is occupied by Israel, but
the land is part of Palestine.
The Daily Tar Heel regrets the error.

going to be displeased anyway.”
But while there is no shortage of
experts willing to take their best guess
es at the future president’s effectiveness,
most are convinced that nothing is for
certain, and the next president might
surprise both the pundits and the
American people.
“The conventional wisdom that we
hear from all the commentators will be
that (the president) won’t have a man
date; there will be some unhappy
Americans and a divided Congress,”
said Phillip Sharp, a lecturer at the
Kennedy School of Government at
Harvard University. “All of this could
make things difficult for the next presi
dent.”
But Sharp, a former 10-term
Democratic representative from
Indiana, added that the expectations for
the next president are already so low
that any beneficial outcome of the pres
idency - no matter how small - will be
looked upon positively by the American
people.

“Any victories (the next president)
achieves will be considered a huge
plus,” Sharp said.
But while the next president might
have some minor victories, pundits say
Americans shouldn’t expect the passage
of any of the more radical campaign
promises made by either candidate.
“Given the closeness of the election
and the makeup of Congress, I don’t
think we’re going to see a $1.3 trillion
tax cut that Bush talked about or the
complete restructuring of Medicare that
Gore has talked about,” Baker said.
Sharp added that this political envi
ronment will actually benefit both the
winning and losing party of the presi
dential election.
“It seems quite likely that large shifts
in policy will not be possible,” Sharp
said.
“The most radical policy that one
party feared from the other side won’t
happen.”
But Baker said the pressure on
Congress to pass legislation could bail
out the president.
Baker pointed out that the 435 mem
bers of the House and a third of the
Senate will be up for re-election in 2
years.
“People in Washington understand
that people at home want to see results
from their elected officials, not just
squabbling,” Baker said.
He added that while the word parti
sanship’usually holds a negative conno
tation, partisanship is only negative
when it brings the democratic process
to a halt.
“There’s always partisanship, but
does that mean that things are passed
that both sides are satisfied with or does
it mean that nothing gets done?" Baker
said.
“Most people hope it’s the former,
not the latter.”
But Sharp said the ongoing saga of
the election will further complicate con
gressional-presidential relationships
because leaders from both parties have
been drawn into the post-election feud.
Less than 24 hours after Florida
Secretary of State Katherine Harris cer
tified a 537-vote Bush victory in Florida,
both Daschle and House Minority
Leader Dick Gephardt vowed to con
tinue supporting Gore’s efforts to claim
the presidency in a televised phone con
ference with the vice president and his
running mate.
Republican leaders have been no less
vocal in their support of a Bush presi
dency.
Similarly, in the weeks following the
2000 election, congressmen from both
parties have appeared in front of televi
sion cameras to support their candidate
or voice their dissatisfaction with the
opponent.
“Unlike in past elections, party lead
ers have been involved in the aftermath
of the election,” Sharp said.

“You start with added baggage
instead of a clean slate.”
Even more up in the air than the
president’s legislative effectiveness is the
political future of both the president and
his supporters.
The party of the president tradition
ally loses seats in the midterm elections.
Munger said this swing could be
even greater than usual in 2002.
“Whichever party wins this election
is swallowing a poison pill,” Munger
said.
“The party that wins this election is
going to be in trouble in 2 years.”
If Bush wins the presidency,
Congress could swing back to the
Democrats.
If Gore wins, the Republicans could
once again solidify their control of both
chambers.
As for the 2004 presidential election,
pundits don’t really know what to
expect.
“If there’s anything we’ve learned in
recent weeks, it’s that a lot of politics is
unpredictable,” Sharp said.
But Munger said the 2000 election
might be the one and only shot for
either candidate to claim the Oval
Office - which might explain their
unwillingness to accept defeat
“Both candidates ran terrible cam
paigns,” Munger said.
“I don’t think the losing candidate
will receive his party’s nomination in
2004.”
As for the winner, Munger said it is
almost always better to run as an incum
bent and that the political landscape of
both the U.S. and the world could
change drastically over the next few
years.
“You never know what could happen
in four years,” Munger said.
“But it’s always better to be the pres
ident.”
