But those who know him well would be very surprised if it happened. He hasn't built a shadow organization. His travel isn't calibrated to the primaries. And he's just not thinking much about politics anymore. "He used to be intensely interested in political gossip-who's up in the latest poll, and did you hear about so-and-so," says Carter Eskew, an old friend...
