September 13, 2003Rating IkeThere's been a lot of talk about the Clark-Eisenhower analogy in terms of generals running for president. But how good a president was Eisenhower? Over at Independents For Clark, I argue that he was a good one. He's been underrated, in part, because as a centrist, he has no historical constituency. Liberals don't care for him, because he was a Republican and a moderate. Conservatives ignore him because he was a moderate, and did not try to undo the New Deal. Isn't it time for centrists to adopt Ike as one of our Ikons? Posted by rickheller at September 13, 2003 01:05 PMComments
