2. He's not the man I voted and worked for... Victimology

is what he seems to be pushing. Sadly...

3. He has quite an imagination.

"In 1992, I received a call, in 1991 before I started running for president, from the Bush White House. They said we've looked at the field. You're the only one that can win. The press has to have someone every election and we are going to give them you. You better not run."

Don't leave home without it:



And for the Clinton acolytes here, yes, the GOP are douchebags. On that we agree. But both Clintons display reckless behavior that makes them vulnerable to these attacks. Both Clintons bend and contort the rules and then wonder why the repercussions they invite hit them upside the head.

4. Wow - that is weird

In the first place, in 1991 it was assumed that NO ONE could beat GHWB, he had just "won" the first Gulf War. In addition, the leading Democrat was not Clinton, but Mario Cuomo.

In 1992, with Perot attacking GHWB constantly and the issue changing from war to the economy, Bush started to implode. Well before Clinton clinched the nomination - in June 1992, GHWB was below 40 percent approval. Given that approval and the three way race, it is very easy to argue that anyone with the Democratic nomination would have won. This would include Jerry Brown (who the media disliked), Bob Kerrey, Tsongus, Harkin and likely other I forgot. Clinton was in fact a media darling - as was his wife. I know many saw the War Room that made heroes of people like Begala and Carville as excellent politics, but consider most of their crises were from things that Clinton actually did.
