He is young...
A rising man in the state democratic party...
The regulars, the buzzcuts and the little old ladies all love him to pieces...
And even the current crisis in the district redounds to his credit...
But
In the town's looming signature political fight, the one that will determine the course of politics for the next decade, the one where careers will be broken and made...in that looming two man fight...our boy makes no endorsement and has no candidate.
Well, the reasons for that are obvious and yet elegant, both the aspirants for office backed our boy to the hilt in his race not so long ago. To endorse one is to alienate the other and both have long lists and longer memories.
Moreover, both men are in their fifties, they may NOT necessarily stay in office for the typical fifteen years or more leaving our boy with the tantalizing possibility of another goose up the ladder and all before he is forty years old no less.
Heady stuff if he can keep his head on straight.
