    So Long As The "Issue" Is Attitude :
    "As unsympathetic as reporters may be to the First Lady, they have, in a desperate search for news from her campaign, obscured the extent to which her remarks routinely drift off into a haze of good intentions. Mrs. Clinton brings to her public appearances a great deal of poise and seriousness of purpose, which, more than anything the actually says, is what the events tend to be about. This was the singular insight of the First Lady's unprecedented 'listening tour', during which she tried to elevate nodding into a kind of political philosophy: so long as the 'issue' is attitude, a politician doesn't have to say much of anything to make a point." _..
    Elizabeth Kolbert, The New Yorker, February 7, 2000.
