Reply #17: He's on the exact same traction arc as William Jefferson Clinton [View All]

People thought Clinton didn't have it early on. People who understood politics thought he did have it early on. Jerry Brown ran as a far left candidate, making Clinton seem too moderate to many on the left. It turns out that the appearance of moderation camouflaged a deep concern for the most liberal of principles (jobs and wealth for the middle and working class), and he arc'ed his way from single digits in NH one month before the primary right into the white house.
