Tom Daschle's hidden weapon
Article Abstract:
Tom Daschle, the Democrats' leader in the Senate, is not particularly intelligent or charismatic. He does not seek a high-profile public image, and seems to want to distinguish himself by showing modesty and by shunning publicity. His approach has won him the appreciation of his colleagues, and he is thus able to act as an honest broker. His abilities are coming to the fore in the controversy over the impeachment of President Bill Clinton. He has been able to foster a strong sense of unity among Senate Democrats on this issue.
