When I first caught Bubbas act in 92 I thought of Willie Stark. I really believe Clinton studied him. Clinton knew the Rats would do anything to be in power, and when he got his butt in a crack anything to stay in power. That was their big weakness. He exploited it many times.
He also honed his skills on the ignorant underclass aka the common man. Just like Stark/Long. I dont mean that to be a slam at Arkansas, every state has them.
Huey Long was a serious threat to become president for a while. Correct me if Im wrong, but I think thats what made FDR introduce social security.
Long screwed one too many people, and Dr. Weiss did him in. Clinton was lucky one of the libs he threw overboard didnt do something drastic.

One HUGE difference between Huey Long and Clinton is that Long was actually quite an entertaining speaker. Another difference is that Long's wife was pretty much in the background.
