Rocky's problem of staking out issues, without appearing to be at odds with the Eisenhower Administration, began to show itself in Chicago. Implicit in his invocation of "a spirit that rises above the cliches and controversies of crude partisanship" was his reach for a position that might reveal him as a friend to Democrats as well as Republicans.
