the stealth nominee
By Phil Lawler ( bio - articles - email ) | Jul 25, 2005
He's 50 years old, bright, ambitious, and prominent. He's said to be a man of principle, living in the middle of a culture war. Yet he apparently has no enemies. That's curious, isn't it?
No, I'm not ready to panic. There's no evidence that would cause panic. Nor is there evidence that encourages confidence. Yet:
- The New York Times doesn't sound worried.
- The Washington Post doesn't sound worried.
- The Boston Globe doesn't sound worried.
- Even Hillary Clinton doesn't sound worried.
OK, now I'm worried.
