It was the elder Bush who, thanks to some pretty boneheaded moves along with an exaggeratingly weak economy, was almost defeated in the NH primary by disgruntled conservatives backing Buchanan. Whatever your thoughts are of the man, his showing was enough to convince Perot that there WAS a chance that a 3rd party candidate could win it all. The moral of the story IMHO repeat IMHO is that causing your main supporters to waver isn't healthy for a candidate. Trying to win over moderates at crucial times will NOT aid a re-election bid. Take the free drugs bill. Even though its supposed to get senior support, it hasn't. In fact most hold the Rats as better stweards of those kinds of things.

Now, how's about we take a break from fussin and have us some chitlins ;>

You didn't answer my question. Which one of you who claim to have turned the White House over to Clinton really did it?

It can't be all of you. So which was it?

And why do you all ALWAYS talk about what happened in the past? Try to live in the world the way it is post 9-11.
