Accusing his opponents of writing an unmanageably long set of promises, Nicolais reflected that “the election process [is] an attempt to create the longest laundry list. All the ideas in the world won’t accomplish anything if they’re not tied in to a specific platform.” For his part, Wilson felt that the Moore-Nichols platform was different from the two others: “I think our platforms are incredibly different?...
