Constant campaigning: There was an article recently in the WaPo which mentioned that Presidents now permanently campaign. In the past they would campaign to get elected, and then do policy from the white house. Now, nothing will go through congress unless there is major public backing. So they campaign constantly to have the polls - and hence - congress on their side.

Maybe that is the definition of a political salesman. Not so much buying populism, but campaign ing constantly to keep the people on-side. It doesnt always work of course, Bush\'s social security campaign was a failure.
