Sen. Baker was great at what he was -- a skilled politician who had a gift for moderating the too-bold views of others. But no one would have confused him with the star of the show, however great he might be in a supporting role. His specialty was to step in for the star at that critical moment when the leading man's charisma had worn thin and he was in danger of losing his audience. That's when Howard Baker would save him from his own passions.

That's just what a great leader may need from time to crucial time: a Howard Baker to calm things down, restore perspective, give sanity a chance, and let the star regain his equilibrium without losing his zeal. That's what Howard Baker did for Ronald Reagan, a great president who had stumbled into less than great decisions that had left him at the mercy of the hard-driving Oliver Norths and Don Regans of his administration, who could be as reckless as they were feckless.

It's you that need to re-read the article.

We don't need moderation. We don't need things calmed down. We don't need compromise.

We do need adherence to conservative principle period!
