First Obama, then Fred, and now Rich Lowry:
Whoever is elected in 2008 won't build a majestic
dam, but will have to work to dispel the Age of
Cynicism.
Interestingly, Lowry sees Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani as the primary beneficiaries of this mood in the country. While Obama and Thompson make the case for overcoming cynicism by changing the tone, Lowry argues that Hillary and Rudy benefit from perceived competence. Either way, Lowry's column is another indication of the bipartisan consensus forming around the War on Cynicism.
