Jack Kemp, 1935-2009


Pro football gave me a good perspective. When I entered the political arena, I had already been booed, cheered, cut, sold, traded, and hung in effigy.--Jack Kemp

WSJ op-ed here:
Across his career, [Kemp] ventured into neighborhoods where Republicans too rarely tread. His policy innovations included enterprise zones, public-housing vouchers and a free-trade pact for all of North America. ... One historic imponderable is what might have happened if Reagan had chosen Kemp as his running mate in 1980.
