Hart backs Kerry's campaign October 01, 2003 The Denver Post By John Aloysius Farrell Gary Hart endorsed Sen. John Kerry for president Tuesday, saying that the Massachusetts Democrat was the most qualified and best-prepared candidate in the race. "We cannot afford on-the-job training," Hart said in a conference call with Kerry and reporters. "People should be prepared to be president before they run for president. "Contrary to present experience," said Hart, in a knock at President Bush, "I think the nation is better served when a person enters the office having studied and prepared ... rather than fitting some personality...

WASHINGTON - Former Sen. Gary Hart likely won't run for the Senate this year, the Democratic Party's top Senate recruiter said Tuesday. "Gary Hart has made it clear he probably won't run," said Sen. Jon Corzine of New Jersey, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. In a brief interview with The Denver Post, Corzine said Hart's reservations boiled down to "economics." He did not offer further specifics. Although Hart is a Denver lawyer who travels all over the world, he is not known to be wealthy. Corzine's comments confirm what Democratic officials have been saying privately for weeks. It...

DENVER In February 1992, five years after I retired from the Senate and entered the world of international law, I was approached at my hotel while on a business trip to Athens by a man identifying himself as a "naval attaché{grv}" from the Libyan Embassy, who was almost certainly with the Libyan intelligence service. This was by no means the first time such a thing had happened to me since leaving the Senate. Nevertheless, there was an air of intrigue about the meeting, and it led to intensive contacts with the Libyan government over the next several weeks. Although I...

WASHINGTON - If Gary Hart jumps into Colorado's Senate race this year, the former senator would be doing so only to "lay the groundwork" for a presidential run in 2008, incumbent Ben Nighthorse Campbell said Wednesday. "The presidential aspirations are still there," said Campbell, R-Ignacio. "I would think he might see it as a steppingstone again." Hart, expected to decide this week whether to run, declined, through a spokeswoman, to respond. Hart, a Democrat, was elected to the Senate in 1974 and served two terms. He ran for president in 1984 but lost the nomination to Vice President Walter Mondale....

Democratic presidential hopeful Gen. Wesley Clark went "much too far" last week when he promised that if he becomes president he'll guarantee that terrorists won't attack the U.S., former presidential candidate Gary Hart said Sunday. "I disagree strongly with Gen. Clark," Sen. Hart told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg. Before the 9/11 attacks, Hart, along with former Sen. Warren Rudman, chaired a panel that warned that a terrorist attack against the U.S. was inevitable. The Colorado Democrat told Malzberg, "I was a bit startled by [Clark's] statement if for no other reason [that] I think we have been saying we that...

http://www.newsday.com/news/politics/wire/sns-ap-hart-senate,0,6342399.story?coll=sns-ap-politics-headlines Hart Considers Senate Race in Colorado By CATHERINE TSAI Associated Press Writer August 24, 2003, 9:12 AM EDT DENVER -- Gary Hart, who decided against joining the Democratic presidential race this year, is being asked by national and Colorado Democratic leaders to make a 2004 Senate run against GOP incumbent Ben Nighthorse Campbell. "I've had several conversations with him about it," said Chris Gates, chairman of the Colorado Democratic Party. "A lot of us in Colorado and Washington would love to see Gary take this race on. He's listening."

Breaking . . Gary Hart decides against seeking presidency...

No, this is not about the Iraq War, or the post-war reconstruction of Iraq, or the French view of America's position in the world. It's about a single bad decision by the top officers of the world's largest airline, American Airlines, that will probably dump that carrier into bankruptcy. This decision goes beyond wrong, beyond greed, all the way to world-class stupidity. And the reason behind it applies in many areas of American life. To set the stage: When times were fat for the airline industry, American signed fat contracts with the various unions of its employees. Now that times...

Former Senator Gary Hart DIV '61 LAW '64 encouraged Americans Saturday to educate themselves about foreign affairs as a means of influencing government decisions, offering stiff criticism of the foreign policies of both Bush administrations. Speaking to approximately 200 people at the Yale Law School, Hart, a potential candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, discussed how the United States ended up at war with Iraq and President George W. Bush's obsession with eliminating Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. "During the Cold War, we felt it was better to have the devil you know than the devil you don't know, so at...

“Don’t be surprised if in the coming hours or days we go to Code Red,” Hart said this morning in Washington. “It is almost inevitable.”

Ex. Senator Gary Hart uses the argument that; the USA is not prepared for another terror attack, if we attack Iraq Gary Hart says that there will massive terror unleashed upon the United States, therefore we shouldn't attack Iraq. Hart, however, failed to name any groups specifically as a potential attacker. It seems to me that the groups that pose the greatest threat to the US are the radical Islamist groups, what I cant figure is why such a group would be anxious to avenge Saddam or the demise of his secular state. They may use the attack of Iraq...

The Democrat who believes it is time for another go at the presidency SIXTEEN years after his presidential ambitions were tripped up by a blonde model and a yacht called Monkey Business, Gary Hart is looking to the disgrace of President Clinton to rekindle his White House dream. Greyer than when the world last paid attention to him and professing greater wisdom for his “folly”, the Democrats’ golden boy of the 1980s is playing a game of tease with the party. He says that he will decide next month whether he is serious about running for President again, a job...

A former Colorado senator said he may want to make a run at the White House in 2004. But it's not the first time he's had presidential aspirations. Hart launched a new Web site over the weekend -- GaryHart2004.org. The Web site does not blatantly say he's throwing his hat in the ring but it certainly leaves little doubt. It's a scenario few would predict following his failed 1988 presidential bid when a disgraced Hart pulled out of the race amid a sex scandal. But a new millenium has wrought a new reality for the Democrats, which is why Hart's...

FELLOW FREEPERS, PLEASE FIRST READ MY COMMENTS BELOW AS A PREFACE Rarely does scholarship anticipate the most dramatic events of the moment. In this timely work Gary Hart does just that, arguing for the restoration of republican virtues and for homeland security as an important first step. The American democratic republic has from its founding been a paradoxical success. Simultaneously attached to state and national power, citizens' rights and citizens' duties, American democracy has uniquely turned its reliance on consent from the governed into a powerful governing of the consenting. In a remarkable political feat, America's founders combined mixed government,...

WASHINGTON -- Gary Hart still has the look, as if his face has been freshly chiseled from a block of granite. The boots are gone; standard black shoes have taken their place. His style in ties has not changed - his latest is a red, white and blue horizontal stripe. And he still commands the attention. A sizable number of reporters turned out as Hart returned to the Capitol, where he served as a senator from 1975 to 1987, to talk to House Democrats about national and homeland security, subjects he's been studying for years.

Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - He was standing by himself outside the old Mile High Stadium, royal blue Denver Broncos coat slung over his shoulder. Not a soul was talking to him.A few days earlier, he had appeared on "Nightline," adeptly dodging Ted Koppel's "did-you-or-didn't-you" questioning, yet confessing some sins to the world. It was 1987, and Gary Hart was probably the most recognized man in Colorado, save for a young quarterback named Elway, yet no one was walking within 10 feet of him. He was damaged goods. Monkey Business aside, I stuck out my hand and told the former...

During his remarks Thursday, according to the Associated Press, Hart criticized his party for its performance during Tuesday’s elections. Democrats “didn’t offer alternatives, they didn’t offer any ideas on how to make the economy grow, about America’s role in the world, [or] a defense policy that was not just militarism,” Hart said. “We got what we deserved.”
