WALTER Mondale was the last major politician who told Americans they would need to pay higher taxes if they wanted the government to keep doing everything it does for them. The 1984 Democratic presidential nominee was swamped in that year's election. Mondale's honeymoon after winning his party's nomination lasted about 30 seconds after he gave that warning in his acceptance speech in San Francisco. Jerry Brown's honeymoon in his second Sacramento coming has already lasted two months longer than that. But it will end abruptly on Jan. 10, when he's due to present his proposed budget, or even sooner if he tells anyone what will be in that document. Of that, Brown is certain. His honeymoon will end for the same reason Mondale's did: Brown is about to tell Californians they will need to pay ...

Democracies can be pesky things; sometimes you just don't know what the voters will come up with next. Even here in our over- polled United States, where taking the temperature of the voters is an industry unto itself, surprises do happen. In part, this is because voters don't always tell pollsters the truth about their intentions. In part, it is because reporters who cover politics can get the story wrong themselves, either out of laziness or because their view of the world differs so radically from that of the majority of voters that they can't see what is staring them in the face. We all know the story of Pauline Kael, famed New York movie critic, who is said to have told a group of friends that she just could not understand why Walter Mondale lost the 1984 presidential election - be...
Twenty-one years ago, Jeanne Kirkpatrick, the former Democrat appointed the United States ambassador to the United Nations by President Reagan, denounced the "San Francisco Democrats" in a landmark speech to the Republican National Convention. Mrs. Kirkpatrick was referring to the strident tone with which Democrats attacked Mr. Reagan's foreign policy - in particular his efforts to rebuild the American military and to defeat Communism in Central America - at their convention in San Francisco one month earlier, where they selected former Vice President Walter Mondale as their party's standardbearer in the 1984 presidential election. The foreign-policy McGovernism critiqued by Mrs. Kirkpatrick should have become anathema after Mr. Reagan was re-elected in a 49- state landslide that Novemb...

Trying to impress upon teenagers the historical significance of the presidential election is a daunting challenge. But Vickie Holbrook, Melrose High School class of 1984, is not easily daunted.
DENVER - In Colorado, where microbreweries are common and the biggest beer magnate is running for the Senate, a battle is brewing among teetotalers over who should be their presidential candidate. Earl Dodge of Denver, the Prohibition Party's candidate in every presidential election since 1984, is running again in November. But dissident members complain that he is more interested in his political button business than the party, and they say the 71-year- old Dodge needs to hand over power to a younger generation specifically, a 60-year-old candidate from Washington state.
