Counting Dwarfs

[stoutfellow]

During the 1988 campaign season, the major Democratic candidates were derisively referred to as "Gary and the Seven Dwarfs". "Gary", of course, was Gary Hart of Colorado. Try as I might, I can only come up with six of the "dwarfs": Michael Dukakis, Paul Simon, Jesse Jackson, Dick Gephardt, Tom Harkin, and Al Gore Jr. Does anyone remember who number seven was? (Joe Biden?)

That does ring a bell, yes. It's possible that the "dwarfs" phrase was used twice, before and after Hart's flameout, but I wouldn't commit myself to that.
