...Today she has already held a press conference, visited two newspaper editorial boards, met with a dozen area activists and scouted the arena where the shadow revels are to be held. But the complications never let up. An aide's cell phone beeps, and he hands it over. "Bill Bradley," he says. Bradley has unofficially agreed to appear at one of the shadow conventions...
...time she hangs up, evidently having mollified Bradley. "He just saw Bob Novak on Inside Politics," she explains, referring to the conservative columnist and the CNN political show on which he regularly appears. "Bill's worried because Novak says no one knows who is financing our conventions. Novak says if people knew, they would not want to appear. This is false." She sighs deeply.

I'm hoping to capture the sense of integrity that Bradley and Nader get from identifying with old-fashioned liberalism. And if there's anything you and I could do with a healthy dose of in the public eye, it's integrity. You have your shady fundraising, I have my spin-doctors on the public payroll.
