What bothers me instead is that the frenetic pace of Campaign 2008 is depriving the candidates of the time and leisure they need for thought, reflection and education. Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois, who ran for president in 1952 and 1956, once said that a campaign was above all an opportunity for a candidate to educate himself about the country. Candidates need time to think, to refine their ideas, to meet people and learn from them, to test themselves, their ideas and their staffs. That's not happening in Campaign 2008.
