This is for reasons of time and memory and TV pictures but not for accomplishment. For the original Adlai had quite the career, and made it to national office as Congressman, Postmaster and then Vice President. He was also a story teller and a master compromiser that could bridge the gap between conservatism and populism to help win an election.
