Kanter told an audience at the Institute of Politics (IOP) last night that successful presidential campaigns must be based on optimism, not fear-mongering. Kanter was the guest of honor at a panel discussion entitled “American Principles and 2008 Presidential Politics.” Kanter, whose book “America the Principled: Six Opportunities for Becoming a Can-Do Nation Once Again” was published in October, said the country is in “a time of gloom.” Kanter faulted many of the current presidential...
