    Mm Ugebrevet MANDAG Morgen POLITIK Konservativ krise: Bendt Bendtsen får ikke fat i unge vælgere Lederen af landets tredjestørste parti optræder kun sjældent i aviserne - Strategisk placering i skyggen af Venstres Anders Fogh gør Bendt Bendtsen uinteressant - Halvhjertede opgør med Venstre skaber usikkerhed om kursen - Unge vælgere vrager partiet - Hårdt slag for Bendt Bendtsen, hvis Dansk Folkeparti bliver Folketingets tredjestørste parti efter valget De Konservative har ualmindeligt svært ved at få Bendt Bendtsen profileret i medierne. Selvom det borgerlige parti er Folketingets tredjestørste, og selvom der - ifølge me- ningsmålingerne - kun er få måneder til, at konservative topfolk sidder på ministerbæn- kene og derfor burde være interessante, halter det slemt med at komme i landsdækken- de dagblade. Blandt Folketingets otte partiledere er der kun to, der får mindre omtale end den konservative leder. Bendt Bendtsen slår netop Enhedslistens Frank Aaen, mens han lidt klarere distancerer Jann Sjursen fra Kristeligt Folkeparti. Derimod er der langt op til en mand som SFs Holger K. Nielsen og uendeligt langt op til Dansk Folkepartis Pia Kjærsgaard. De er ellers beg ge ledere af partier, der størrelsesmæssigt lig ger under de Konservative. Det fremgår af Ugebrevets gennemgang af samtlige landsdækkende dagblade i første halvår af 2001. Alt er taget med: artikler, ledere, debatindlæg, feature- artikler, notitser osv.
