Hi.

""I'm here because I think there was hardly anybody else in contemporary life who could put ideas of socialism in as accessible a way as Tony Benn," said 60-year-old veteran Chris Stratham." [From the Guardian.]

Is the determiner "a" in the phrase as accessible a way as Tony Benn put there for emphasis?

Thank you.
