Wolcott reviews the field
The field of those who have or are still considering running for high political office. And with his wit and wisdom, skewers the various pretenders he sees.
The post–Eliot Spitzer, post–Hillary Clinton disarray in New York State encouraged a spate of alpha males to lace up their racing shoes for a possible sprint at the U.S. Senate seat held by Kirsten Gillibrand, whose freshman status and cream-puff cheeks give the impression of a soft target there for the taking. Up popped Harold Ford, a smooth operator whose knowledge of his adopted state seemed scanty but who knew the best places in town for power breakfasts and manicures...Enjoy Mr. Wolcott in fine form.
He eventually heeded the roar of indifference from the public and scratched himself from contention, while insisting he could have beaten Gillibrand.
