...David Cameron: It must be possible to be a good leader of a party and a good father, or a good prime minister and a good father. It must be possible and I'm determined to try and do both jobs. The key is trying to keep control of your diary and make sure you have time at home and time with your children and I make sure that happens. Today is going to be a failure. Because of the high winds I don't think I'm going to get home tonight. But last night I was home...
...David Cameron: I don't know whether it's a new style. To me it's just obvious. If you've got three children under 5 and you want to be a good father and be there when they're growing up, you've got to make time.

His telegenic appeal has propelled the Tories to a consistent lead in opinion polls for the first time since Tony Blair's 1997 victory. That has infused Britain's Conservatives with a sensation so unfamiliar, they barely recognize...
...Actually, Cameron has more in common with a certain British pol than he does with J.F.K. Whether nodding sagely to recovering drug addicts at a rehab center north of Aberdeen or charming Scottish journalists on the serpentine train journey to Edinburgh, the person whom Cameron resembles more than any other is a young Blair. He has the same brow-furrowing desire not only to understand his interlocutors but to empathize with them; the same rootless accent that in Britain indicates an easy start in life (in his case, school days at Eton and a degree from Oxford). And like Blair...
