The Post-Californian Ideology

On November 6, 1996, Al Gore called Peter Navarro to express his sympathy. Navarro, a left-leaning economics professor at the University of California, Irvine, and Democratic congressional hopeful, had lost his race the day before. Navarro thanked the vice president and said that he’d “love to get a job in the – Clinton-Gore administration.” Gore said he’d see what he could do, but apparently it wasn’t much. Navarro never got his administration job.
