58. Clinton has Ross Perot to thank for winning...
Edited on Wed Dec-15-04 02:43 PM by Selwynn
..considering the he didn't even manage to sercure a popular majority of the vote, perots 12% or whatever it was largely conservative voters, and it more than made of the difference in the victory margin. Clinton's victory was not exactly "descive" and two years later the people were so "on board" with Clinton that they voted in one of the most conservative congresses in history. He won a second term thanks to two things: a) the tech bubble b) the dorkiest, goofball of a republican candidate ever nominated for president.

Aside from that, as I said - I disagree with his politics. And I don't mean that generically. I disagree with his signing DOMA, I disagree with his stance on NAFTA and "free" trade. I disagree with his deregulation of telecommunications. I disagree with his wellfare "reform." I disagree with his economic packages of excessively (note the word excessively)corporation driven legislation. I disagreed with his don't ask/don't tell cop-out. That's to name a few.
