“To picture Roosevelt as a man at this time in his life - he felt he was old. He was 53 years old, feeling lonely and irrelevant. And all of a sudden, he takes on this campaign, and it becomes a crusade for popular government. And he ultimately goes on fire in the campaign, but he discovers he's up against all the old machine tactics that he used to use himself, and he has to let the public get involved. And he energizes the public through the most extreme kind of rhetoric, which truly brings him into the streets and onto his side.” MenYearsKindUseFeelingsGovernmentUsedFeltSidesFireStreetsGoes OnInvolvedLonelyMachinesExtremesCampaignsRhetoricIrrelevantTacticsGet InvolvedFeeling LonelyCrusadesOld Feelings Author:Geoffrey Cowan
