Tireless and even-tempered, he suffers from a lackluster speaking style. If successful, Griffin would become the G.O.P.'s highest elected officeholder and, like the party's national chairman, an important articulator of Republican policy. As it happens, the present G.O.P. chairman, Mary Louise Smith, an Iowa housewife, announced last week that she would resign. That sets the stage for a battle royal between conservatives and moderates...
