65. Really?

He's just a human being like myself. And a flawed one at that. But he did what Carter, Mondale, and Dukakis could not do, and even then, he only won by plurality.

But your continued insistence that the AWB had something to do with that despite the GOP embracing it at the time, continues to baffle, and to cite Clinton, who had to come up with an excuse, is also baffling... But since you are using him as an argument - here were his thoughts as to why Democrats lost right after that election -

President Clinton offered three explanations for the results. He said that first, the public was dismayed at Washington business as usual, from lobbying to campaign spending to partisanship, and was saying, "Democrats are in charge -- we're holding you responsible, and we hope you hear this, Mr. President."

The second message he discerned was skepticism about whether the Administration had really done what it claimed about crime and the deficit, but that even if it had: "We still feel insecure. We don't feel that our incomes are going up, that our jobs are more stable, that our neighborhoods are safer, that the fabric of American life is growing more civilized and more law-abiding."

Finally, he said the public was saying, "We don't think the government can solve all the problems and we don't want the Democrats telling us from Washington that they know what is right about everything."

Nothing about the AWB there.

So which Clinton do you want to believe?
