Clintonism: Govern by polls. Move just as far to the center as your polls tell you to. Avoid any hard or controversial decisions. Equivocate. Do what looks good, nothing else.

People forget the first two years of Clinton-- he came out of the box on a hard Left bent, until his numbers went way down and Congress went GOP. Following that, he triangulated and did everythign by the polls, and shied away from any controversial or difficult decisions that might have had a bad effect on his numbers.

Clintonism isn't leadership, it's being an empty suit.

That could/should be the textbook definition.

Dems haven't forgotten Rule # 1 of Clintonism: The only women to honor and obey are the gals at NARAL.
