That's darn good when you consider that the powerful [Hubert Humphrey] organization is against us, and it carries the weight in the cities."

With Geneva and wilting weather copping the headlines, Tennessee's unwilted Democratic Senator Estes Kefauver inspiredly produced a composite of attributes for the perfect, unbeatable politician (who turned out to be 2/15 Republican, 13/15 Democratic. The Keef's Republicans: Dwight Eisenhower for his smile, Maine's Senator Margaret Chase Smith for her gracious charm. The Democrats: Adlai Stevenson for his wit, Missouri's Senator Stuart Symington for good looks, Georgia's Senator Walter George for his voice, Oregon's Senator Wayne Morse for mental agility, Georgia's Senator Richard Russell for fairness, Washington...
