I think it’s more than just that. Bill Clinton was the “cool” candidate, smooth and quick with a smile.

He got a lot of votes for that alone.

IMHO there was also the matter of the Republicans having had the WH 3 terms in a row. It’s hard for one party to maintain the WH so long (without fraud and without Santa Claus giveaways from govt).
