Before the duck hunt, Saltsman planned the aborted presidential effort of former majority leader Bill Frist. Before that, he ran the Tennessee Republican Party, overseeing the successful 2000 effort to deprive Al Gore of any home-state electoral votes. These days he deals with a whole new set of challenges.

"For every candidate in either party, this is the supermarket-checkout moment: Do you get it?
