Good Anti-choice. That would be like me picking Clintoon as my favorite. (Now, let me go wash my hands with soap after typing those words.)
Grover Cleveland was the Billy Clintoon of that day. He couldn't keep it in his pants either. He ushered in a long, long Republican rule-time. It was almost a complete repeat of history 100 years later leading up to the 1994 election and the Congressional takeover by the Republicans. Cleveland practically destroyed the DemocRATS then just like Clintoon has done today.
Just before the 1994 election, I happened upon one of my old history books which contained the Republican Platform for that time (circa 1893). I was amazed as it could have been written almost verbatim 100 years later. I sent a copy of it to Rush, but never heard anything from him about it. He probably never saw it. I would have emailed it to him then, but Al Gore had just invented the internet and I didn't have it yet.
Back then (1894...etc.), they did it right. The Republicans took over both houses of Congress in 1894 and they threw Cleveland out of the Presidency in 1896. Republicans controlled the House, Senate and the Presidency well into the 1900's after that. I'm hopeful that the historical repeat continues.

He ushered in a long, long Republican rule-time. Yeah, political whoring is not new to the republicrats. They have had over 100 years of practice.

Please before you spout your mouth off; go to the building labeled a library and read some books for about twenty years. Put the radio down, shut off the voice that does your thinking. And learn to think for yourself. Cleveland was so hated that he got voted in again to clean up the mess created by Benjamin Harrison (a true spendocrat). And it was Republicans that put the Democrat Cleveland into the presidency in the first place. They were called Mugwumps. I think the closest politico related to Bill Clinton was the great Republican twit named Warren Harding. What is it with Presidents from State of Ohio; if they don't die in office they're Fat, Dumb, and Stupid.
