However I did not imply that people back home hated me because I was Westernized, which is the impression one gets from the article...
...Democratic standardbearer. He was, in fact, a practical politician who played the game as skillfully as the next man. His fastidious grumbling about the demands of politics was something of a pose. Martin suggests that the candidate deliberately contrived a diffident persona to appeal to the civic-minded, rather snobbish liberals who came to adore...
